Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 3 cups of rolled oats
• 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup of packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of butterscotch chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
6. Fold in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips with a spatula 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 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden brown on the edges.
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
