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.

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).

Add Calico

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).
