LOVE 'em cookies. 'Thanks mom,' said my son. These cookies were a test, and they scored an 'A+.' Made with whole-wheat flour and flax, they are a nice change to the everyday chocolate chip.

- Cook's Note in Response to Marg (CaymanDesigns)'s Review: I've found it's important to make sure you replace any of the add-ins you leave out (raisins or butterscotch chips) either with the same amount of another add-in or with an equal amount of extra oats. That will keep the cookie from being too "runny".

OATMEAL BUTTERSCOTCH TOFFEE-CRISP COOKIES
These cookies are to die for!! I promise and so do all my friends, family and co-workers. I was looking for a thin crispy oatmeal cookie. I found a number of nice recipes and took ideas from many of them. On the third attempt, this is the recipe I came up with. Special notes, you MUST use parchment paper to bake the cookies on. If you don't they will stick to the pan and break (even if you grease the pan). The batter gets thicker as you add ingredients. I add the rice cereal last, so that they are crushed as little as possible. I have tried using more and less flour. Less flour and the cookies don't form. More flour and they don't get crispy. A special thanks to PanNan, who's Crispy Coconut-Oatmeal Cookies gave me the recipe's basic foundation.

Steps:
- Beat butter and sugars at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended; add eggs, vanilla and almond extract, beating well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; add to butter mixture, mixing well.
- Stir in oats.
- Stir in toffee bar pieces (don't use the "toffee dust" that comes from crushing the bars, just the small pieces).
- Mix in butterscotch chips. The batter will be very thick at this point.
- Gently but thouroughly mix in rice cereal.
- Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. (You do not need to flatten the cookies, they spread on their own). I only place 6 cookies on each cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.
- Gently slide the cookies off of the parchment paper onto wire racks to cool.

Tips:
- Using old fashioned or rolled oats will result in a chewier cookie, while quick oats will yield a softer cookie.
- If you don't have butterscotch chips, you can use semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped nuts instead.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cranberries in the recipe to your liking.
- If you want a crispier cookie, bake for a few minutes longer, or if you prefer a softer cookie, bake for a few minutes less.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
Conclusion:
These oatmeal cookies with butterscotch and cranberries are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and tangy flavor. Whether you enjoy them warm from the oven or store them for later, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
