After sending 3/4 to Elder Partridge, and snitching some as a family, this is all that's left. :)
We usually make these as cookies, but last week I didn't have time to bake them as cookies, so I made the "pan cookie" variation. So much faster and just as yummy!
Oatmeal Scotchies
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract or grated peel of 1 orange
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
1 2/3 cups (11-oz pkg.) Nestle Butterscotch Morsels
Preheat oven to 375.
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 morsels. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 7-8 minutes for chewy cookies; 9-10 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies
Pan Cookie Variation: Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Prepare dough as above. Spread dough into prepared pan. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until light brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars.
