Magic Cookies
Magic Cookies are rich, multi-textured cookies featuring a blend of all-purpose flour, graham cracker crumbs, brown and white sugars, and a mix of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, flaked coconut, and chopped pecans. The dough is chilled before baking to develop flavor and texture. The resulting cookies have sweet, nutty, and coconut flavors with a soft center and lightly golden edges, enhanced by a sprinkle of sea salt on top.
