I've never really liked butterscotch.
Either I grabbed them by mistake or needed them for something and completely forgot what it was for. Needless to say I needed to use them.
Cookies it is. I know how empowering butterscotch can be, so I knew I wanted to make oatmeal ones. I was thinking of adding pecans at first, until I was talking to my grandma and she thought maybe walnuts would go good with them. I ran to the store and bought pecans and walnuts, tasted them both with the butterscotch chips and decided to go with walnuts.
When they came out of the oven, I really thought hmmmm..... these look interesting. If that's what I should say.
I had all 3 of my boys come to the kitchen and we all attempted one at once. I was really hoping I didn't just do all this and they aren't going to be nasty.
With the first bite, I just wasn't sure. (I'm used to chocolate)
By the time I finished the cookie, it had grown on me. My middle child loved them so much he came back for 2 more before I told him no more until after dinner.
Let me just say though, this cookie is very different.
Pleasant but different.
Ingredients:
- 1 Butter flavored Crisco stick
- 3/4 C. Brown Sugar
- 1/4 C. Sugar
- 2 Tsp. Vanilla
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp. Nutmeg
- 1 3/4 C. Flour
- 2 1/2 C. Oats
- 1 Pkg. Butterscotch chips
- 1 C. Chopped Walnuts
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.
Cream together Crisco stick and sugars in a mixing bowl.
Add vanilla and eggs, beat until blended.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add flour mixture to mixing bowl.
Add oatmeal, blend.
Add chips and nuts (if you using them).
Bake 8-10 minutes.
Makes about 52 cookies.
**** If you are not using nuts, you may want to cut the amount of butterscotch chips. The walnuts help keep the flavor from being too overwhelming.
