This oatmeal cookie recipe is the kids' favorite. It doesn't call for nuts, but I sometimes add about 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup margarine

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 cups quick cooking oats

  • 1 cup butterscotch chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

  3. Beat brown sugar, white sugar, margarine, and oil with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and stir until dough is just combined. Mix in oats and butterscotch chips. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
