BUTTERSCOTCH-COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together onto a sheet of parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter until fluffy and pale yellow, about 2 minutes.
• Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat until well combined, about 2 minutes.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until blended.
• Add the coconut and butterscotch chips, mixing just to incorporate.
• With dampened hands, shape the dough into 1 inch balls and arrange on the prepared sheets, spacing the balls about 2 inches apart.
• Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges, about 15 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool briefly on the pans on wire racks, then transfer the cookies to the racks to cool completely.

NO-BAKE BUTTERSCOTCH-COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium pot of barely simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water), stirring occasionally, or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between bursts, until butterscotch is melted and smooth. Add oats, 1 cup coconut, and salt; stir gently to combine.
• Spoon mixture by the tablespoonful onto a parchment-lined sheet tray. Gently press balls in the center to flatten. Chill until set, about 10 minutes.
• Heat chocolate, if using, in a medium heatproof bowl set over a medium pot of barely simmering water (bottom of bowl should not touch water), stirring occasionally, or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between bursts, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Drizzle cooled cookies with chocolate, top with remaining 1/4 cup coconut, and chill until set, about 5 minutes, before serving.
• Do Ahead
• Cookies can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill.
