Coconut Butterscotch Pecan Cookies will remind you of Girl Scout Samoas. They are easy to make and fun to eat.
To become a good cook requires more than the blind following of recipe. It means to gain a knowledge of foods and how they behave and skill in manipulating them. The recipe by itself, helpful as it is, will not produce a good product; the human being using the recipe must interpret it and must have skill in handling the materials it prescribes.
