Everyone loves an ooey gooey Magic 7-Layer Bar so I thought why don’t we take all of those ingredients and make the ultimate Magic Bar Cookie? These have the  perfect balance of salty and sweetness. The cookie has a soft, chewy center and buttery, crisp edges. 

The sweet caramel butterscotch chips paired with semi-sweet chocolate chips is the perfect combination. The pecans or walnuts add some hearty crunch and help to cut the sweetness.

How to make Magic 7-Layer Cookies:

  • Start by creaming together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar for about 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl often. Add eggs and  vanilla.
  • Fold in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. The cornstarch adds thickness without adding a cakey texture and it helps the cookies to stay fresher longer. 
  • Fold in butterscotch chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, shredded coconut flakes, and pecans or walnuts. My favorite brand of butterscotch chips is Guittard.
  • Bake on a light colored baking sheet. If you want to make easy clean-up, use parchment paper sheets. Bake just until the edges turn a light golden color. Don’t overbake these cookies.
