These delicious cookies are sure to be loved by all. Butterscotch and Chocolate chunks in buttery dough all rolled together makes for a super yummy cookie. They also make a great last minute treat for an event!

These delicious cookies are made with Coconut Sugar and Pastured butter. I would say that is a good excuse to indulge in consuming them. Therefore, they are healthier and justifiable to eat one after another, right? At least that’s what I have to tell myself.
What makes The Best Crowd Pleaser Cookies?
Einkorn All Purpose flour is used whenever possible in my home as it is easier to digest. My kids have sensitive immune systems. Therefore, Einkorn has become something we use a ton, instead of modern wheat. Combine that with Pastured Butter, some sugar, and vanilla and you have the base flavor of The Best Crowd Pleaser Cookies.
I call these cookies Crowd Pleaser Cookies because everyone I have made them for can’t seem to get enough. There is also another reason why these cookies were given that name and it all started when I was back in Middle School.
The Story behind these Cookies
Did you ever have a Nostalgic flavor that reminded you of a special time? Well, the base recipe for this one I created is just that for me.
There was a time back in Middle School that I was always over at my best friends house. It was during that stage where I was gone from home to hang out where it was “fun.” My Best Friend had the coolest Mom. She would make fresh cookies every single day. Because all of her kids constantly had friends over, the cookies got consumed quickly. I called these cookies “Kellie’s Cookies” growing up.
Her house was a house where everyone wanted to be. It was a place where you could kick off your shoes, raid the fridge, and stay as long as you’d like. For that reason, the flavor of those cookies brings back the sweet memories I made over at that house that I called my second home.
Why the recipe was re-created in my home
Over time as I’ve grown as a wife and mother I have become passionate about what my family is putting into our bodies. I have more of an awareness of what foods can cause harm to our bodies and what can promote healing. I’m a true believer that food is medicine because I’ve seen this be true for myself as I use wholesome food in my home.
Coconut Sugar, Honey, Pure Maple Syrup, and Pure Cane Sugar are used in my home to replace processed sweeteners. I like to use real food only in my cooking. Our bodies were not created to be able to process anything but natural, real food.
So, I took the recipe for the cookies I grew up loving and created one that utilizes the ingredients I use in my home. After perfecting the recipe, I can say that I still get that nostalgic flavor of my Middle School days with every bite I take of The Best Crowd Pleaser Cookies.

Butterscotch and Chocolate Chunk Cookie Tips
- If you do not have Parchment paper you can grease your baking stone or sheet with a little bit of Coconut Oil. However, Parchment paper makes for much easier cleanup.
- Try adding M&M’s to the recipe for a special treat. Just take away 1/4 cup each of the Butterscotch chips and Chocolate Chunks to add the M&M’s.
- Feel free to take out the Butterscotch chips if you do not like them of have them on hand. These are just as good as Chocolate Chunk only cookies.
- I recommend using Coconut Sugar in place of Brown Sugar but you can also use Raw Turbinado (Brown) sugar if you do not have Coconut Sugar.
- Einkorn AP flour is what I use in this recipe. So, if you are going to try to make this recipe with regular AP flour you may need to adjust the amount of liquid you use. Typically, adding 20% more liquid for regular AP flour use should yield a similar result.
FAQ

Can you freeze these Cookies?
Yes, these cookies freeze very well. I recommend using a cookie scooper to get even balls of dough, then place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Then, place the Cookie sheet in the freezer to freeze the dough balls. Once frozen, remove the dough balls and place them in a Ziplock back for future use. They are great to have on hand for an event or last minute visitor.
You are also able to freeze these cookies after they are baked. In case you forget to freeze part of dough (as I’ve done because I got distracted) or don’t consume them as fast as you’d like, have no fear you can still save them for later!
Are these Crowd Pleaser Cookies considered healthy?
I would consider these Cookies to be on the healthier side. By using Coconut sugar instead of regular you are cutting down on a bunch of health risks. Plus, the use of Pastured Butter in this recipe is a better option than any saturated fat options.
It is also recommended that you check the ingredients on your Chocolate Chunk and Butterscotch bags. I recommend the “Enjoy Life” brand or “Lily’s” for both ingredients as they are allergy friendly brands and have simple ingredients, thus making them healthier.
Einkorn AP flour is also easier to digest than modern wheat such as regular Unbleached AP flour. Easier digestion equals healthier in my book!
