OHH EMM GEE, guys!! These are crazy amazing! Chewy, sweet and filled to the brim with coconut, oats, butterscotch and peanut butter chips! Holy pimped out cookies Batman!

This was the batch I made over my crazy stressful weekend just a few days back; do you recall this post? Yeah…don’t want to re-live that for a while. I was vulnerable and had a new bag of peanut butter chips….not a good combination. Obviously things were going to end badly. And by badly I mean very very good.

Also, I would like to state for the record that I am NOT insane, I just have moments of insanity. For instance, on Sunday when I made these and ate nearly all of them. Or on Sunday when my husband and I were breaking and entering. Or on Sunday when I was making these and happened to add in those peanut butter chips I was talking about….and some oats….and an almost empty bag of butterscotch chips…..and an almost empty bag of coconut. CLEARLY I was just cleaning out my cupboards for the greater good. I don’t always go around throwing every Tom, Dick and Harry into my cookies. Now that would be crazy! Right? Riiiiiiiiiight??

Ok that didn’t make sense.

……

Umm, ok. It totally just got awkward.

ANYWAYS–we love love loved these and if you’re stressed too, feel free to make a batch! You’re welcome 🙂 Oh, and this recipe only makes 1 dozen, so you don’t have to feel bad for eating…..like 10.

To make these cookies, start off with your typical cookie ingredients in a bowl 🙂 Mmmmm….try not to melt your butter in the microwave. Don’t be like me!

Cream it all together.

Now crack an egg into a bowl, beat it up and pour half into your mixture along with some tasty vanilla.

Stir it up and take a big sniff! Yummmmm!!

Measure out your dry ingredients into the bowl too. {I promise there’s salt in there…’a pinch’ doesn’t exactly show up in my fotos.}

Now pour in all the good shtuff!! And drop some peanut butter chips into your mouth too. {I used the Reese’s brand–talk about amazing and addictive!}

Now shovel a big spoonful of this into your mouth.

And then take the leftover dough and scoop out some cookies.

Throw these into the oven for 8-ish minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are barely set. Cool them off for 3 minutes and then transfer these to a cooling rack. Or skip the cooling rack and stuff your face.

Or, make ’em look pretty and snap a few shots!

Are you gettin’ hungry yet?

Needless to say, these are crazy good and you should make them. The end.

I promise I’m not crazy.
