Cost: $2
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, divided (2 egg whites, 1 yolk)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Blend the butter and sugars together in a bowl.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla, beat well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix in the flour mixture into the wet mixture (butter-sugar-egg).
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 8-in square pan.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips and half of the coconut shavings.
- Spread the batter evenly onto the pan and sprinkle the rest of the coconut shavings on top.
- Bake for 25 min, or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

Notes
- I like to save the wax paper that butter sticks come in and use it to grease my pans – no need for extra oil or a spray can!
