Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Prepare your cookie sheets by lightly greasing them or lining them with parchment paper.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry crumb mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
-
Add mix-ins: Stir in the butterscotch chips, sweetened flaked coconut, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Form cookies: Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them a few inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
-
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Storage: Once cooled, store the cookies loosely covered at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
Tips and Variations:
- For a festive touch, consider adding chopped colored red and green maraschino cherries to the dough before baking.
- These cookies can be easily customized by swapping out the butterscotch chips for chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or peanut butter chips.
- If you prefer a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets before removing.
- These cookies make a wonderful homemade gift for friends and family. Package them in decorative boxes or bags tied with ribbon for a thoughtful and delicious present.
