I have always loved anything by Gooseberry Patch. I absolutely love their cookbooks, not only for the recipes and tips, but their artwork is absolutely adorable! I have a cabinet in my kitchen full of Goosebery Patch books and I'm sure I'm not the only one! This recipe is from Gooseberry Patch's
"Christmas Cookie Jar" Cookbook. I don't have this one. I'm not sure how I missed one! Fortunately it's still available on the Gooseberry Patch website. Yay!

It's Cookie Time! Seven Layer Cookies

It's Christmas Cookie Time! A favorite from my childhood and my daughter Rachel and I make these every year for Christmas. They are one of the easiest cookies to make but they are oh so sinful! Seven layer cookies! My Grandmother made these for us every year. They have always been a favorite of mine.

1 4 ounce stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (from about 8 crackers pulsed in the food processor)
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 12 ounce package butterscotch chips
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 12 ounce package semisweet chocolate chips

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and swirl the pan so that the bottom is evenly coated with butter, paying special attention to the corners.

3. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over the butter and press down with your fingertips to form a very thin crust. Create even layers on top of the graham crackers with the remaining ingredients in this order: shredded coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped pecans on top.

4. Bake the bars for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the ingredients have completely melted together to form one uniform batter.

5. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until the bars have chilled and are completely solid.

6. Cut the bars into 2-inch squares with a sharp knife and store them in a container lined with waxed paper. #christmascookies #deckthehalls

Sinfully delicious!
