BUTTERSCOTCH OATMEAL COOKIES

While living in California, Sunday mornings started with a nice long hike in the Santa Cruz mountains...afterwards, a stop at the bakery in a charming downtown area (okay, I ate all my calories back)... This was one of my favorite cookies there...so much so, I had to learn to make them for myself! I even got it taste the same using Splenda sugars and whole wheat flour! Pass the milk!

  • ¼ cup Shortening

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar

  • ½ cup Sugar, Splenda

  • 1 Egg

  • ¼ cup Water

  • 1 tbsp. Vanilla

  • 1 cup King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour, sifted

  • 1 tsp. Salt

  • ½ tsp. Baking Soda

  • 3 cups Quick Oats

  • 1½ cups Nestle Butterscotch Morsels (11 oz.)

  • In a large bowl, beat shortening, sugars, egg, water and vanilla until creamy. In a small bowl, sift flour, salt and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture and blend well. Stir in oats and butterscotch morsels. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow oatmeal to soften.

  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes in the middle of the oven.

  • Let sit for 2 minutes, loosen with spatula and allow to sit one more minute before moving to cooling rack.
