7 Layer Cookies Recipe
Description
This 7 Layer Cookies Recipe begins with a crust made from crushed graham crackers mixed with melted butter pressed into a baking pan. On top, layers of semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans alternate before the sweetened condensed milk is poured over all. Baking melts the chips and forms a cohesive, golden-topped bar.
The final texture is chewy with crunchy nut pieces and a complex sweetness from the butterscotch and chocolate chips alongside the nutty and coconut flavors. The graham cracker crust provides a firm, buttery foundation for the rich layers.
These bars are convenient for snacks or dessert and can be sliced into portions once cooled. They keep well at room temperature and freeze well when wrapped properly.
Storing in an airtight container at room temperature preserves freshness for several days, and freezing extends shelf life for months.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter melted (1 stick, unsalted
- 10-12 graham cracker sheets
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup coconut sweetened shredded
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until the crackers turn into crumbs.
- In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs together. Mix thoroughly until wet and sandy.
- Pour the crumb mixture into the prepared pan and press it tightly in the pan to form a crust. You can use a flat-bottomed measuring cup to compress the graham crackers more easily.
- On top of the crust, layer the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, pecans, and sweetened condensed milk, in order.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Let the bars cool completely, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep freshness.
- Freeze individually wrapped bars in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
- Press graham cracker crust firmly into pan for an even base.
