Here's your new favorite sweet and salty oatmeal cookie: Butterscotch Cowboy Cookies. My family constantly begs for these cookies, and we adore every bite! These nuggets of caramel and butterscotch flavors can be soft and chewy or buttery and crisp, depending on how you bake them. Either way, they are at their best when served with an ice cold glass of milk. #OatmealCookies #Butterscotch #BakeSale
2cupsquick oatmeal, or use half quick oatmeal and half old-fashioned oatmeal (whole oats)
11oz. bag Nestle butterscotch morsels
2cupssort-of-crushed corn flakes
1cuptoasted chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter with both sugars until well blended; add the eggs, beating in one at a time, then add the vanilla and water.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour soda, baking powder and salt; add the dry ingredients to the prepared butter mixture and combine well. By hand, stir in the oatmeal, morsels, corn flakes and pecans until the cookie dough is well combined.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place heaping spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough) of cookie dough, approx 2" apart, onto a greased parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each mound of cookie dough just slightly, using a fork. Bake, uncovered, on the center rack for 10-11 minutes or until golden brown and slightly set at center when lightly touched with your fingertip.
Let the cookies set on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Once the cookies have cooled completely, store in an air tight container.
