Oatmeal Scotchies
Hi everybody :)
I been kind of on a mini blog vacation because of all this HOT weather we been having here...
I have a surprise for you; my daughter is guest posting today!
Her name is Patrina, and she recently started her own blog.
So without further ado, Patrina.
Hi, Patrina speaking. I'm using a different font (and purple because purple is awesome). I guess my mom's recipe blog inspired me to create a blog of my own.
[Updated hyperlink on 12/08/2021 to link to my newly formed expermental cooking blog, Trina Marie's Recipes! Check it out.]
The other day, I was craving something (anything!) sweet. My mom keeps a lot of different baking chips (chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, etc.) in the freezer or pantry. I found an interesting recipe on the butterscotch chip bag and decided to try it.
Oatmeal Scotchies
Makes about 4 dozens cookies or 4 dozens bars
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cups (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats or quick oats
1 2/3 cups (11 oz.pkg.)Nestle Toll House Butterscotch Flavored Morsels
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine first set of dry ingredients in a large bowl with a wire whisk.
In a mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, blend well.
Stir in flour/oat mixture with morsels until combined.
Drop rounded tablespoon of dough on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 7- 8 minutes for chewy cookies; 9 - 10 minutes for crisp cookies.
Remove and allow to cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack and cool completely before storing them in a cookie jar with a loose lid.
For Bar Cookies: Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Prepare dough as above. Spread dough into prepared pan. Bake 18 - 20 minutes or until light brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars.
What I Did and/or Think:
I mostly followed the original recipe, except I did not measure the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, or vanilla. I just poured them in until it looked about right. I also used margarine and did not add the full 2 sticks.
These cookies were amazing! I loved them, and would definitely make them again. If anything, they were maybe too sweet; I had a sugar rush from eating too many.
I love both butterscotch (sometimes to the point of secretly eating a couple of chips out of the bag...) and oatmeal, but I've never tried them together.
ENJOY! Come again....
