Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4-1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract/bean paste
  • 1/2 bag butterscotch chips

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Begin by mixing flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  3. Use stand/hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar, about 5-8 minutes until creamy. Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract/bean paste.
  4. Add about 1 cup at a time of the flour mixture, then oats.
  5. Add in butterscotch chips until incorporated.
  6. On a cookie sheet with parchmentpaper or silicone baking mat, portion out dough ball to your preferred size. I use an ice cream scooper which produces the perfect shape and size.
  7. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  8. Bake cookies for 10-15 minutes, until gently golden brown. Remove and cool on wire rack.
Notes:
  1. Remaining dough can be stored in Ziploc bag for up to a month in the freezer.
  2. If you are baking frozen dough, plan to bake for 15-20 minute
