I can't remember why or how I started making these cookies, but they've become a thing around our house and I needed something to bring to my friends' bridal shower later today. We call them Calico Cookies because they are a mix of everything like our cat Sushi, who is a calico. Also, we figured no one would want to eat Sushi Cookies.

Soften butter so it is easy to mix up with the sugars.
Egg & Stuff

Add salt, eggs, and vanilla extract to the buttery sugar and mix well. Then add baking soda and flour and stir. Add more flour if after the first 3 cups your dough seems a little too wet (or don't).

I usually start with a 1/4 cup of the chocolate, white, and butterscotch chips and then add more as I stir and see the distribution. I've never tried the coconut before but I liked the texture it gave.
Bake

Roll little balls (maybe slightly flatten them if you have a stiffer dough) and spread them about an inch apart. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy!

Keep the cookies in an airtight container (after they cool).
