LAYER COOKIES (MAGIC LAYER BARS)

I can still remember the first time I had one of these cookies at a church picnic as a kid...MMmmm. I've loved them ever since. Easy to make and always popular. A classic!

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 40m

Yield 16 large cookies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup graham cracker, crushed to crumbs
1 cup flaked coconut
6 ounces chocolate chips (1 cup)
6 ounces butterscotch chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (fat free works fine)
1 cup nuts

Steps:

  • Place melted butter in a 9 x 13 baking pan. Spread graham cracker crumbs over top. (I actually prefer to melt my butter in the microwave, mix in the graham cracker crumbs and then pat into the pan. It makes a more even bottom crust, I think.).
  • Layer the coconut and chips in order given. Pour sweetened condensed milk over all. Top with nuts. DO NOT mix together.
  • Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. (Please check earlier if your oven runs hot!).

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies spread evenly and bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The recipe will specify the correct temperature. Baking at too high a temperature will make the cookies brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or serving: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent the cookies from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

These magic layer bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and coconut is sure to please everyone. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will be the hit of any party or gathering.
