Oatmeal Scotties
These are my absolute favorite cookies on the planet. My mother made these when we were kids. And since I had to make cookies this weekend for a work function, I chose to make a batch of these (and keep a dozen). I mean no one would know, right? Well, except you guys.
So here it goes...
Oatmeal Scotties
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt (optional--for if you are using unsalted butter)
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg
3 cups quick cook oatmeal
1 cup Butterscotch chips
Preheat oven to 375. Beat together the butter, sugars, vanilla, and egg until semi-smooth. Slowly add flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the oatmeal to the mixture. Beat until combined well. Add in Butterscotch chips. Spoon on to baking sheet and bake ofor 8 to 9 minutes.
Makes 4 ½ dozen cookies.
And boy, are they delicious. Enjoy.
