Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

These are delicious.  I hate oatmeal cookies that are dry and crumbly, and these are not at all.  I know, because I ate about a dozen of them today.


Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
(could use any kind of chip for these...milk, semisweet, etc...)


1 C butter, softened
1 C sugar
1 C brown sugar
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
2 C flour
1 t salt
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 t cinnamon 
3 C oatmeal (quick cooking variety is best)
1   11 oz butterscotch chips

 Toss your butter, sugar and brown sugar into your stand mixer or into a large mixing bowl. Cream together for at least 3 minutes.
 Add the eggs and vanilla and cream for another 3 minutes.  
 Add the dry ingredients to your creamed mixture. Mix until combined, about 1 minute. 
 Toss in your butterscotch chips and your raisins. Mix just until combined. 
 Roll the dough into balls and place them on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. 
 Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 8 minutes. DO NOT OVER BAKE! In fact....these babies are just perfect if you take them out of the oven just after the cookies
begin to crack. Let them rest and cool for several minutes on the hot cookie sheet. Remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
