YUMMY OATMEAL BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES
I was looking through all the wonderful Oatmeal Butterscotch recipes here on 'Zaar and was surprised that there was not this basic recipe which DH was craving. Found this one on Hershey's Kitchens website. These came out just how I rememebered them, chewy, sweet and delicious. In my oven the cookies came out best when cooked the full 10 minutes. DH sugggests that these may also be good for you because of the oatmeal, I think otherwise, but they sure taste good. These cookies freeze well too!

DOUBLE BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING COOKIES
Sometimes more is more, and these irresistible cookies prove it. We doubled down on butterscotch by including both butterscotch pudding and chips, and the result is a soft and chewy cookie that's bursting with buttery, caramelly flavor. Don't skip the sea-salt sprinkle-it helps boost the sweet flavors, rather than taking the cookie in a savory direction.

Tips:
- Use room-temperature butter. This will help the cookies cream together more easily and will result in a more tender cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cookie.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
Conclusion:
Butterscotch cookies are a classic cookie that is loved by people of all ages. They are soft, chewy, and have a delicious butterscotch flavor. With a few simple tips, you can easily make perfect butterscotch cookies at home. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
