I was in the mood to make some cookies to take with us this weekend. So what did I grab?? Well the Paula Deen Baking Magazine of course. I spotted these Butterscotch Cookies that sounded good and I did have all the ingredients...so I went to work. While mixing up the batter I thought it was kind of thick, but it still tasted ok. Well it was thick for a reason...it called for 1 CUP of butter and I only put 1 stick. (that's only a 1/2 c.) So I baked them anyway and they are more cake-like but still good. Mom reminded me of how many calories I just saved and how Dad would probably eat these too! Thought I would share the recipe:
Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
1 c. butter, softened (I only used 1/2c)
1 1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 t. vanilla
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. quick cooking oats
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 pkg. butterscotch chips
1 c. chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350. Cream together butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add flour, oats, soda, salt, and beat together til mixed. Then stir in butterscotch chips and pecans (might have to use your fingers if you don't add the whole stick of butter).
** They are cake-like cookies, so if you like a soft one make it with one stick. If you like a crunchy one, I'm sure 2 sticks would do that for ya!
Enjoy!
