Magic Cookie Bars

Soft-baked graham cracker cookie bars with butterscotch, coconut, chocolate, and pecans. An ultimate version of the classic magic bar/hello dolly bar.

Ingredients:
Bars

• 1/2 cup  unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg

Magic Cookie Bars

• 1 cup  all-purpose flour
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup  butterscotch chips

Layers

• 3/4 cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips 
• 3/4 cup (50-60g) shredded sweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 8 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F . Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl using handheld or stand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar together on medium speed. Beat for about 2 minutes until smooth and combined. Add the vanilla extract and egg, beating until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl down as needed.
3. Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer running on low, slowly mix until combined, then beat in the butterscotch chips. Press graham cracker dough into the prepared baking pan and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and layer with chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk evenly on top. I sprinkled a couple more butterscotch chips on top, but that's optional.
4. Bake the bars until set, about 30 minutes. I loosely covered the pan with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent browning.
