Chewy Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Stir in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and centers are still slightly soft.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
