These five chip cookies are packed full of milk chocolate, semi-sweet, butterscotch, peanut butter and white chocolate chips.
Everyone loves a good cookie don't ya think? My favorite cookie by far is Oatmeal Scotchies, but I love experimenting with all sorts of cookie recipes. To me cookies that include some sort of baking chip in them are usually these best. I have had this recipe for Five Chip Cookies tucked away in my recipe file for quite some time now.
For some reason this recipe kept getting pushed aside for something else. I can honestly say that it wasn't anything personal against the recipe, but more likely my penny pinching ways kicking into overdrive. You see this recipe calls for five different varieties of baking chips. Heavenly if you ask me but buying five bags of baking chips at one time can be a bit costly.
Well last weekend when I went grocery shopping I finally just bit the bullet and bought them. I tossed all five bags of chips in the cart and buried them somewhere between the toilet paper and the boxed items. Yep that's what I did. I kept thinking to myself "out of site, out of mind". That way I couldn't see them and have an opportunity to change my mind and toss them back on the shelf. I do that more times than I can count.

Yesterday was the perfect day to bake up some cookies for two reasons. One because we are suppose to get some pretty nasty weather, so I knew the kids would be stuck in the house.And two, because we had an empty cookie jar. In my opinion there's nothing worse than an empty cookie jar gracing your counter.
I prepared the cookie dough while the kids were in school and as soon as they got home we baked up these yummy cookies. I'm so glad that I didn't put all those baking chips back because these cookies are divine. They have a peanut butter and oatmeal cookie base with addition of semi sweet, milk chocolate, butterscotch, white chocolate and peanut butter chips.

Before I go I also wanted to let everyone know that today I'm Guest Blogging over at Cooking with Libby. I hope you will stop by and check it out. I'm highlighting a recipe from the Mommy's Kitchen Archives. I know you will love Libby's Blog as much as I do.

I have a question for you...what do you do with leftover chocolate or butterscotch chips? Do you put them in your freezer or just refrigerate them?
I just put them in zip lock bags and store them in the pantry or freezer. I have a little drawer divder on the shelf of my pantry so that is where I keep my chocolate chips and baking bars.
Excellent cookie!! This recipe has been placed in my favorites file.

Amen Sister!
I actually do this with beans, too, so after a few months, I'll have a ton of mixed beans for a mixed bean soup. Or the leftovers from cracker packages, so we'll have a night of various dips or hors d'œuvre. Or sometimes even with various shaped pastas (so long as they have roughly the same cook time), so that we have a funky pasta dish at some point. It stretches the food a little bit ('cause really, are you going to miss that 1/3 or 1/2 cup each time usually?) and ends up with funky, cool stuff like these cookies. Yum.
