Oatmeal Scotchie Cookies

If I had to choose a cookie with no chocolate in it, this cookie would be THE one I would choose!  When I make these I try not to eat the whole batch of them myself!  So I put the majority of them in the freezer to pull out for another time.  Sometimes though I catch myself pulling just one right of out the freezer and eating cold.




Oatmeal Scotchie Cookies

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
  • 1 2/3 cups (11-oz. pkg.) butterscotch chips


Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 375° F. 

COMBINE flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and morsels. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. 

BAKE for 7 to 8 minutes for chewy cookies or 9 to 10 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. 

PAN COOKIE VARIATION: 
Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Prepare dough as above. Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until light brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Makes 4 dozen bars.

Those look yummy. As much as I like chocolate, sometimes it is nice to have something a little different.

We're always looking for good cookie recipes. I like to offer cookies in the store for the customers.
Happy Tasty Thursday!
