Yummy Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies created by Marg CaymanDesigns

I was looking through all the wonderful Oatmeal Butterscotch recipes here on 'Zaar and was surprised that there was not this basic recipe which DH was craving. Found this one on Hershey's Kitchens website. These came out just how I rememebered them, chewy, sweet and delicious. In my oven the cookies came out best when cooked the full 10 minutes. DH sugggests that these may also be good for you because of the oatmeal, I think otherwise, but they sure taste good. These cookies freeze well too!

Way too much sugar!!! Cookies came out flat. Make sure you chill the dough and use half butter, half shortening.

I scored this as a "2-star" recipe, only to make it stand out...I think that it could be a "5-star" cookie, with just a few small changes that some of the other reviews posted on already. I agree with the first few reviews... I made the recipe "as is", and it seemed a little too sweet, and a little too "thick" with oats. It's a good "base" recipe, but the next time I try it, I think I would follow the suggestions of others. Cut each sugar back to 1/2c. each, and decrease the oats by 1 cup, and increase the flour. I also started baking the cookies on parchment, and that seemd to bake them better. They didn't turn out so thin/falling apart on me.
