Seven Layer Cookies

A 1970s, Better Homes and Garden staple for the holidays.

I didn’t know of a single mom growing up who didn’t make these.

The simple bar cookies were one of the first things I was allowed to make myself.


4 ounces butter
1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
1 (6 oz) package chocolate chips
1 (6 oz) package butterscotch chips
1 small can shredded coconut (1 1/3 cup)
1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
1 to 1 ½ cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Melt butter in a 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over melted butter; sprinkle chocolate chips and butterscotch chips over graham cracker crumbs.

Sprinkle coconut over this; then drizzle with the condensed milk evenly over all.

Sprinkle with the chopped pecans.

Bake 25-30 minutes. Cool. Cut into 1 ½ inch squares.
