- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups oats
- 1-1½ cups butterscotch chips Dealers choice on amount
Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl - set aside
In a mixing bowl cream shortening, eggs, sugar and vanilla until combined and smooth - about 2 minutes
Slowly add flour mixture to creamed mixture until flour mixture is completely combined
Add in oats and butterschoth chips - stir until combined
Drop by teaspoon on a cookie sheet - I always use parchment paper for easy clean-up, even baking on bottoms and so cookies don't stick
Bake in a pre-heated 350° oven for 12-15 minutes
