Coconut Butterscotch Crescents Recipes

SEVEN LAYER MAGIC BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in graham cracker crumbs until throughly combined. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan to form the crust.
• Evenly sprinkle remaining ingredients one by one over the crust to form layers, beginning with the chocolate chips, followed by the butterscotch chips, coconut, and walnuts. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the top, and spread with a rubber spatula to make sure it's evenly distributed.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and the middle is set.
• Allow to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

COCONUT-MACADAMIA CRESCENTS

Steps:

• Using electric mixer, beat butter in medium bowl until light. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup powdered sugar. Beat in extracts. Stir in flour and salt, then macadamia nuts. Refrigerate dough 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Pinch off 1 tablespoon dough; shape into 2-inch-long, 1/2-inch-thick crescent. Repeat with remaining dough. Brush crescents with egg white, then dip tops into coconut. Place crescents, coconut side up, on parchment-lined sheets, spacing cookies 1 inch apart. Bake until just barely golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets on rack. Sift additional powdered sugar over cookies. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Transfer cookies to airtight container and freeze. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

NO-BAKE BUTTERSCOTCH-COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium pot of barely simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water), stirring occasionally, or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between bursts, until butterscotch is melted and smooth. Add oats, 1 cup coconut, and salt; stir gently to combine.
• Spoon mixture by the tablespoonful onto a parchment-lined sheet tray. Gently press balls in the center to flatten. Chill until set, about 10 minutes.
• Heat chocolate, if using, in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium pot of barely simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water), stirring occasionally, or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between bursts, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Drizzle cooled cookies with chocolate, top with remaining 1/4 cup coconut, and chill until set, about 5 minutes, before serving.
• Do Ahead
• Cookies can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill.
