The best cookie I have ever eaten is the
Seven Layer Cookie
INGREDIENTS:
4 ounces butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1 (6 oz.) pkg. butterscotch chips
1 small can shredded coconut (1 1/3 cups)
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in 9x13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over melted butter; spread crumbs with chocolate chips, then butterscotch chips. Sprinkle coconut over this, then drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over all. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool and cut in 1 1/2-inch squares.
I can not eat them any more... I am a diabetic.
Enjoy them!
