1/3 cup Granulated sugar
1/3 cup Firm packed light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F., and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside. Cream butter until pale yellow and fluffy using an electric mixer. Then add sugars (both granulated and light brown) and continue creaming until the mixture is barely gritty when rubbed between your finger and thumb. Blend in egg and vanilla extract. Fold in the sifted flour mixture, using a spatula or wooden spoon, until the mixture is just combined. Mix in the shredded coconut and butterscotch chips just until blended. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets, spacing about 1? - 2 inches apart.
Bake coconut butterscotch cookies for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges. Allow cookies to cool on baking pans for a couple of minutes before carefully transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
These are so awesome and fun and look really cute, go to the link for a picture.
PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES
INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture; mix well.
Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from pan.
Super Gooey Chocolate Drops
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup natural cocoa powder, such as Hershey's or Scharffen Berger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
11 ounces (1 bag) semisweet chocolate chunks
Position racks in the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. (If you don't have 3 pans, simply cool the pan between batches.)
Put the butter and the unsweetened and semisweet chocolates in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 75 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir and heat again until melted, up to 2 minutes more. (Alternatively, put the chocolates and butter in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching the water, and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.)
Stir the light brown and granulated sugars and vanilla into the chocolate mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat vigorously until thick and glossy.
In another bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa, cinnamon and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just mixed.
Drop the batter in heaping tablespoons onto baking sheets--a small ice cream scoop is ideal for this. Space the cookies about 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies set but are soft and fudgy on the inside, 12 to 15 minutes.
Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve.
Store cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to a week
