Oatmeal Scotchies

This oatmeal-butterscotch cookies have been a dessert staple in my house since I was little. They're my dad's favorite (sorry I didn't send any home, Dad!) and these are a serious crowd pleaser. There's something that blends so well between the oatmeal texture and creamy butterscotch.

1c Flour

1.75c Rolled Oats

1/2c Butter (softened)

3/4c Brown Sugar

1/4c Sugar

1tbsp Cinnamon

1.25c Butterscotch Chips

1. Cream together butter and sugars in a standing mixer until smooth.

2. Mix in egg, vanilla, and baking soda.

5. Mix in butterscotch chips. 

6. Cover and cool in the fridge for at least two hours, up to a day. 

To be a little different, I used my small cookie scoop to make these cookies: 

It helps make evenly-sized cookies which guarantees they'll all bake up the same. 

However, this method made them relatively small. That means you can eat more :)
