Butterscotch Cookies

BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 cup butterscotch chips*

Preheat oven to 325º.

Mix the sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.

Pour the flour, baking soda, salt, oatmeal and chips in a mound on the batter. Stir these ingredients in until the dough is evenly moist.

Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased, or nonstick, cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a glass or a large spoon.

Bake for 10 - 12 minutes.

Remove cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a clean surface as soon as they come out of the oven.

* Any kind of sweet chips will work, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts could be added to this recipe as well without making any other adjustments to the recipe.
