1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 (12 oz.) pkg. butterscotch chips

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in oats and morsels. Take a rounded spoonful and push off with another spoon onto the cookie sheet.

Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes then transfer to wire racks. Leave room for cookies to get gigantic. Leave room on edges also for that nice uniform look.

NOTES:

Cookies should be a tad tan around the edges and a bit softer in the middle. Leave on the wire rack for about 20-30 minutes or so except for those who may or may not be around to taste test first. Every one in the family and those who you dearly care about will greatly appreciate these. They will even be begging for more in the near future, I'm sure ;) Great to be made with the kids. Just make sure to keep it a habit to always wash those grubby little paws first! LOL.

A large glass of milk to help wash down those sweet spots will do wonders! Oh- I don't want to forget... to those of you who are diabetic, and have to watch your intake of sugar, you probably will be fine depending if you want to have one at a time. That is depending on what you eat for the previously 2 hours or so. Just don't forget to check your sugar, and if it at all elevates, do a little bit of exercise, that will bring it down a bit. You can always sub the white sugar for a Sugar Substitute, and I believe Splenda does make a brown sugar substitute also, but you may want to check out the facts first before you take MY word for it because I'm just a Homemaker. That's all. I'm not really sure, but one day I would like to try this recipe with just egg whites. To see the difference. I could make another batch and keep you all updated with my outcome.

Vanilla Extract you ask? I always like to stash an extra bottle away because I LOVE the taste of extra smidgens here and there and double the dashes, over and over again! For those of you who cannot use alcohol because of past abuse or family trauma of abuse, there is always plain vanilla flavoring without the Vodka. It is a lot more sensible for the price too. I know I have a ginormous bottle of it in my fridge. And it still goes unused, even though I used to party like it was 1999. LOL.

All my recipes are free for the grabbing! So go ahead and grab, just please do me the honor of reading up about them. And make sure you rate them kindly because when I bake and cook, I do it with Love.

Make sure you throw in your advice and how you have changed up the ingredients or measurements. I would even love to hear how your dish turned out because that's what life is all about, opening up, sharing, caring, and giving a thank you when it is due.

So this is my first recipe to my new Cookbook. Tasteables by Jennifer L Newton. I hope you enjoy! From My Heart to You and Your Families!
