Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (113.5 g) salted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup (165 g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar can sub granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • 1 cup (120 g) graham cracker crumbs 8 full sheets
  • 1 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (90 g) chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (85 g) butterscotch chips
  • ½ cup (60 g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • sweetened condensed milk for drizzling
  • flaked sea salt for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and mix in completely.
  • Slowly mix in baking powder, baking soda, salt, graham cracker crumbs and flour, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Fold in butterscotch chips, chocolate chips and coconut.
  • Scoop the dough into large balls, I like to use the 3 tablespoon cookie scoop. Place 6-8 cookies on a baking sheet at a time. Top cookie balls with a few extra chips and coconut flakes.
  • Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on your baking sheets.
  • Once cookies are cooled, drizzle with sweetened condensed milk and a sprinkle of flaked salt. Enjoy!

Notes

I know the traditional bars also have nuts in them. You can add ½ cup of chopped nuts with the chocolate and coconut if you like.
I buy the nestle sweetened condensed milk that has a pop top and can drizzle, but a can also works.
