Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
- Ready In:
- 45mins
- Ingredients:
- 12
- Yields:
-
60 cookies
- Serves:
- 30
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1⁄4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3⁄4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temp
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour (unbleached)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt (I used kosher)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 1⁄2 cups quick oats (mine were organic)
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
directions
- Cream butter with applesauce; then cream with sugars til smooth.
- Add egg and vanilla; beat well.
- Combine flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture.
- Mix in oats and chips.
- I used my 2-tsp scoop, slightly overloaded, and dropped on parchment a few inches apart.
- Bake @ 350 degrees -- 11-13 minutes. I watched for a few bumpy tips to begin to turn golden, the edges just beginning to turn, too. 12 minutes was perfect in my oven.
- Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Move to rack to cool completely.
- Original recipe says yield is 36 but I got 60 doing it my way! They were perfect for little hands! (And the big hands felt less guilt reaching for a second -- and a third -- !).

In some circles, I am known as the "pie lady" because I often make pie...I think it's easier to make than cake! I have an extensive pie recipe collection but am certain that it will NEVER be complete! (My muffin recipe collection is also large!) I am a firm believer in experimentation in the cooking department and often give "How To Cook Without A Book" for any appropriate gift-giving occasion! I also enjoy "playing" in the dirt and find that I need Spring because it gets me away from all the extra cooking I do in Winter! My Mom always said, "If you can READ, you can COOK!" and I have no patience for anyone who refuses to read in the kitchen!
