Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Use a stand or hand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat the ingredients together until well combined and creamy. No longer grainy.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again on medium/high speed until combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides and beat again to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix on medium/low until combined.
  • Add the oats and butterscotch chips to the bowl and mix on low until combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop (I used a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop) to place rounded cookies on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator and chill them for 30 minutes. No need to cover them first unless you plan on chilling for several hours.
  • Once fully chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look very soft. (They will firm up a little once they cool.)
  • Remove the sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3-5 minutes before moving them to a wire cooling rack.
