Recipe for Oatmeal Scotchie Cookies

Here is a recipe for some DELICIOUS cookies I made today! I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I did! ;)


Oatmeal Scotchies
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract or grated peel of 1 orange
3 c. quick or old-fashioned oats
1 2/3 c. Butterscotch chips (11 oz. bag)


Preheat oven to 375ºF. 


Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt 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 butterscotch chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.


Bake for 7-8 minutes for chewy cookies; 9-10 for crispy cookies. 


Best served hot and gooey! (:


AND... TA-DA! 

Along with baking, I also painted a "pretty picture" today! Here is the end result of my painting...
