Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar + extra for dipping cookie tops prior to baking
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon soda
  • 2 cups butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
  • Cream butter and sugars.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, flour, salt, and soda.
  • Add the dry ingredients and butterscotch chips to the wet ingredients. Stir just until incorporated.
  • Roll into tablespoon-sized balls, dip tops of balls in sugar and slightly flatten. A base of a small glass works well for slightly flattening the cookies.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 11-13 minutes on ungreased baking sheet. The cookies should have just the faintest hint of golden around the edges. I have had the best success with only baking the cookies for 11 minutes. I like to line my baking sheets with parchment paper; Stella B uses a Silpat. Either one works very well for creating perfect bottoms.
  • Cool cookies on a wire rack.
