While making Nicole’s Triple Chocolate Chip cookies last week, I got an idea to add a few extra ingredients to all this yummy chocolatiness. After all, if three different kinds of chocolate were this good, just think what else you can add to make these cookies that much more scrumptious!
As I rummaged through my baking cupboards (yes, I have a cupboard just for baking items), I found some butterscotch and cinnamon chips. The flavor combinations intrigued my taste buds so I got to making me some cookies.
I added white chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, cinnamon chips, chopped macadamia nuts, and coconut (because everything is better with coconut!).
I have to say, my taste buds were in for a surprise when I took that first bite. Sweet, spicy cinnamon with chocolate undertones and a hint of butterscotch, with those seductive, buttery macadamia nuts….Mmmm, and I didn’t even get to the coconut yet! Oh, the coconut sent this cookie over the top!
The only problem is, I didn’t know what to call these delicious cookies. Oh, I could call them chocolate butterscotch cinnamon coconut cookies or chocolate butterscotch coconut cinnamon macadamia nut cookies, but that seemed a little long for a cookie name.
When I took these cookies to work, one of the guys said, “You should name these, ‘everything but the kitchen sink cookies’ because they have everything in them.” So that’s what I’m calling these cookies - Everything but the kitchen sink.
If you don’t like coconut, you can leave it out like I did for the guys at work. Silly men don’t like coconut flakes so I only added coconut to about five cookies for myself because when you have macadamia nuts, you just have to add coconut {smile}! I mean, who doesn’t
Silly men….
