Coco Loco Three Chip Cookies

In my recent Scotcharoos Post, I mentioned creating a new cookie with my friend Alison, and now it's time to share the delicious cookie with all my wonderful blog readers!

We started with the recipe for Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies, but we modified the 2 cups (or 12 ounces) of Chocolate Chips that it originally called for.  Since I had both Chocolate Chips and Butterscotch Chips leftover from the Scotcharoos, I decided to use those,  but I also threw in some Peanut Butter Chips AND Shaved Coconut! So that folks, is how we came up with the amazing, and ever so tasty, Coco Loco Three Chip Cookie!

Now that you've heard all about this wonderful treat, take a look at how it was created.

The Goods!
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg
  • 2 Cups Combination of Chocolate Chips, Butterscotch Chips, 
  • Peanut Butter Chips and Shaved Coconut

Mix Butter and Sugars.

Add Vanilla and Mix to Combine.

Add eggs - one at a time.

Mix until combined.

Add the dry ingredients. 

And mix until everything is fully incorporated. 

Add 2 Cup of Chocolate Chips, Butterscotch Chips, 
Peanut Butter Chips and Shaved Coconut

Bake for about 7 to 8 minutes. 

I take them out when they're still a little gooey.

And they end up looking like this...


YUM!!!!

Now go make the Coco Loco Three Chip Cookie and enjoy!

Scotcharoos!

I recently said I'd post about Scotcharoos BUT I forgot to take pictures when I made them a few weeks ago, so I invited Alison over for an afternoon of baking!

We make the Scotcharoos first to give the Chocolate/Butterscotch coating time to harden. After making the ever so delicious Scotcharoos, we made two kinds of cookies - traditional chocolate chip and another the two of us created together! There will absolutely be a post about this in the very near future!

Enough about the cookies - lets look at how to make Scotcharoos, which are loved by MANY! Feed them to your family, feed them to your friends. They'll love them and ask you to make more! :)

The Goods:
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies 
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips


 Add sugar and corn syrup to saucepan and cook over medium low heat. 

Stir to combine and continue until sugar is dissolved. 

Bring mixture to a boil. 

Remove from heat and add Peanut Butter.

Stir until fully melted.

Add mixture to Rice Krispies.

Mix until evenly distributed. 

And pour into greased 9 x 13 pan.

Spread out evenly and press down firmly creating a level surface. 

 Spread melted chocolate/butterscotch mixture over the top. 

Make sure every inch is covered!

Done! Now let it cool until the toop is hardened. 

Then cut into squares and devour!
