**Easy For 7 Layer Cookies**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup butter, melted
– 1 cup shredded coconut
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup butterscotch chips
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– 1 can sweetened condensed milk
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined, creating a crumbly texture. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
3. Next, sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the graham cracker crust in the pan. Follow by doing the same with the semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and chopped pecans, layering them one by one on top of the coconut.
4. Slowly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the layers in the baking pan. The milk will act as the “glue” that holds all the layers together, providing moisture and sweetness to the cookies.
5. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the top is set. Keep an eye on them as they bake to prevent burning.
6. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the layers to set and make cutting the cookies easier.
7. Using the parchment paper overhang, carefully lift the whole block of cookies out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the cookies into squares or rectangles, as desired.
8. Serve the 7 Layer Cookies on a decorative platter or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. These cookies can be kept at room temperature for a few days but have been known to disappear quickly!
