Oatmeal Butterscotch Chewies

I had a cookie emergency this weekend and needed to whip these up to feed some hungry friends. This recipe produces an extremely chewy cookie that stays fresh for several days.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup butterscotch chips

2 cups oats

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

Cream butter and sugars. Add egg.

Stir in butterscotch chips and oats.

Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.

Yields 24 cookies.
