Oatmeal Chocolate and Butterscotch Chip Cookies

So like I said, I've been a little butterscotch obsessed recently. . . I love oatmeal cookies!!  You can make these with butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, really anything you like.  This recipe is really easy to make your own.  

And I call them healthy because they do have oatmeal in them. . . right? : )

Oatmeal Chip Cookies

What you'll need:

1 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

3 tsp. cinnamon 

1/2 to 1 tsp. nutmeg (depends on how much you like)

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temp.

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs, room temp. 

2 tsp. vanilla

2 1/2 cups oatmeal (quick oats)

6 oz. chocolate chips

6 oz. butterscotch chips

What you'll do:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.  In a stand mixer or a bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter with the two sugars.  Add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla.  Gradually add the flour mixture, making sure to mix well between additions.

Fold in the oatmeal and the chips.

Drop a ball of dough onto a baking sheet about 1 tbsp. big (the size of a ping pong ball)

Bake for 7-8 minutes.  Remove and let cool on a cooling rack. (or eat them how I like them, warm right away!)
