These soft, chewy cookies are a fun twist on traditional magic bars.

Preheat oven to 375° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars until fully combined. Add egg and vanilla and mix until fully combined. Add the sweetened condensed milk, again mixing until fully combined. (You may have to stop the mixer a few times to scrape down the sides and the paddle with a rubber spatula.)
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until combined. With a spatula, fold in the coconut, chocolate chips, butterscoth chips and walnuts.
Divde into 30 gram (1½ Tablespoon) balls, placing them approximately two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes, just until the edges are browned. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely.

If you can't find graham cracker crumbs, buy graham crackers and pop them into a blender or food processor to create the crumbs.
If you really like the flavor and texture of coconut, you may want to increase the amount to 100 grams (1 cup).
Many magic bar recipes use pecans rather than walnuts. Feel free to use whatever nuts you prefer!
Feel free to omit or sub-out any of the mix-ins: chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut and nuts.
