Love to Bake

One thing I love to do is bake and food just tastes better when served on cute ceramics! Aqua & bright red look fabulous together. The cake pedestal is painted with a raised clay design. All pieces are available for purchase on my Etsy shop.

 

The recipe:

 

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

 

1 cup butter ( 2 sticks)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup butterscotch chips

 

Mix together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.

Beat together butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light & fluffy.

At low speed add flour mixture until blended, fold in oats & butterscotch chips.

Chill 1 hour.

On a silpat drop 1 inch balls ( I use a melon baller) two inches apart and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and center soft & chewy.

 

These are the best oatmeal cookies I have had.

 

Tip: Only bake what you plan to eat; there is nothing like freshly baked cookies. I usually bake one tray about 9-12. With the rest of the dough scoop into balls lay flat on a tray and freeze about 20 minutes. Put frozen dough balls in an air tight bag and place back in the freezer. Label bag and bake as needed.

Make an extra batch and always have fresh baked cookies ready to go in no time.
