Oatmeal Scotchies

 

This recipe can be found on the back of the Nestle's Toll House Butterscotch Morsels package. Remember however, I always always follow the directions. I never ever substitute..I figure these have been tested so why mess with what works. Here is the recipe directly from Nestle's Website or the package of Morsels.
 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 3 cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
• 1 2/3 cups (11 oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Butterscotch Flavored Morsels

DIRECTIONS:
 
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

BEAT butter and sugars in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Add oats and morsels; mix well.

DROP dough by level tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

BAKE 7 to 8 minutes for a chewy cookie or 9 to 10 minutes for a crisp cookie. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store tightly covered. 

My superheros like the cookie more on the crisp side...so I do 9 minutes...and yes, I totally watch the timer while they rest and remove them from the sheet after 2 minutes. Don't laugh...it works!
