Easy Seven Layer Cookies
I brought the flavors and texture of the classic Seven Layer Bars into these cookies, and they’re some of my favorite cookies ever. They have some chewiness around the edges but are soft, squishy, tender and moist in the middle. All the textures and layers of flavors just do it for me. The more, the merrier, and these cookies are loaded with graham crackers, two kinds of baking chips, and coconut. The cookies are a couple layers short of seven, missing nuts and sweetened condensed milk, but I don’t like nuts in bars anyway and always omit them. And sweetened condensed milk is just not cookie-friendly. There’s something about the combination of butterscotch with coconut, chocolate with graham crackers, and tossing it all together in one recipe that’s so satisfying. Marriage of complementary flavors, at their finest. The cookies remind me of the potlucks, church basement bake sales, Girl Scout troop meetings, graduations, and so many of the celebrations and parties I attended growing up in rural Minnesota. There was always a pan of Seven Layer Bars. I’ll always have a soft spot for the original bars, but these seven layer cookies have my attention now. Soft, chewy, melty, tons of textures and flavors.
