Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies
These turned out so good! I can’t believe it; I’m two for two!
The dough didn’t look all that appetizing, but the cookies couldn’t have turned out better!

Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter-flavored shortening
1-1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1/3 cup buttermilk
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 package (10-ounce) butterscotch chips
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine shortening, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, milk in large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended.
Combine oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix into creamed mixture at low speed just until blended. Carefully stir in butterscotch chips.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto baking sheet.
Bake one baking sheet at a time at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet, remove to wire racks.
Recipe makes about 2-1/2 dozen cookies.
