- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup butter (the real stuff not the stuff that is only one molecule away from plastic and at room temp not melted or rock hard)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups quick or old fashioned oats uncooked
- 12 oz butterscotch flavored morsels
- 1 pkg vanilla pudding
Preheat oven to 375. In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, pudding, and cinnamon; set aside.
In large mixer bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until creamy. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and butterscotch flavored morsels. Drop by measuring tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 7 – 8 minutes for chewy cookies.
I bought air bake cookie sheets about 25 years ago. I’m not even sure I could make a cookie on a regular cookie sheet anymore. I love these things to the moon and back. I also started using a small ice cream scoop to dole out my cookies so that they are all pretty much so the exact same size. The size cookie it gives me is pretty much so perfect for the temp. We all tend to like a soft chewy cookie more than crisp. Also if you put a piece of plain white bread in with your cookies in a close container they will stay soft longer. This recipe is from Nestle but I added the pudding. Because many years ago Kathy Rugie and I were at some friend or relative of hers. She had just made oatmeal cookies and they were the best ever! I asked what her secret was and low and behold it was vanilla pudding mix.
