We are in the kitchen with Liz from A Sweet Baker today and she has brought another delicious recipe to share with us!
I’ll let her take it from here…
Hi everyone! I’m back again this month with a delicious cookie recipe that you’ll want to add to your recipe box. I was a bit skeptical at first when I read the recipe (because I don’t like nuts in my baking) but I’m so glad that I made them. It’s definitely a keeper in my house, even with the nuts!

These cookies have a little bit everything in them that I found I used up a bunch of odds and ends in my baking cupboard. I added butterscotch chips, oats, coconut, crispy rice cereal and slivered almonds. You really could add in any little extras you have hanging around and I’m sure these cookies would turn out great.
A while back I was in the Bulk Food store and I noticed the butterscotch chips and thought I’d give them a try again. Normally I don’t care for them because I find they have quite an artificial taste. I tried them out on my boys before making this recipe and they both thought they tasted gross. I didn’t want to throw them out so I tossed them into these cookies and guess what? They didn’t even know they were in there! I quite enjoyed them as well. They blend so nicely with all the other flavors that the cookies taste great!
Well, the next time we chat the summer holidays will be almost over! I hope you go out and enjoy every minute of the sunshine and great weather with friends and family! I know I’ll be making the most of every minute we have! 🙂
