Coconut Butterscotch Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Butterscotch Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for some delicious baking.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, butter-flavored shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar.

3. Step 3

   Beat them together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.

4. Step 4

   Next, add in an egg, along with vanilla and almond extracts, and mix until everything is beautifully blended.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

6. Step 6

   Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix! Now comes the fun part: fold in the butterscotch chips and flaked coconut, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for that perfect bite.

7. Step 7

   Using rounded tablespoons, drop the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each scoop to allow for spreading.

8. Step 8

   Pop the trays into your preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and have a lovely light golden hue.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes—this helps them firm up just right.
