Time 35m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup butter (softened) or 1 cup margarine (softened)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned oats (I use Quaker Oats)
2 cups butterscotch chips
2 cups raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Combine: flour, baking soda, salt and spices in a small bowl.
  • Beat (cream together): butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
  • Gradually beat in flour mixture.
  • Stir in oats, butterscotch chips and raisins.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoons.
  • onto cookie sheet.
  • Bake 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Cool 2 minutes on pan than transfer to rakes till cool.
  • Cook's Note in Response to Marg (CaymanDesigns)'s Review: I've found it's important to make sure you replace any of the add-ins you leave out (raisins or butterscotch chips) either with the same amount of another add-in or with an equal amount of extra oats. That will keep the cookie from being too "runny".

Categories     dessert

Time 42m

Yield 60 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
½ cup honey
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
1¾ cups (11-oz. pkg.) NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Butterscotch Flavored Morsels
1 cup quick oats
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
¾ cup raisins
¼ cup wheat germ

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Lightly grease baking sheets.
  • COMBINE flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Beat butter, honey and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture alternately with milk. Stir in morsels, oats, walnuts, raisins and wheat germ. Drop by slightly rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets.
  • BAKE for 7 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in tightly covered container.
  • Note: If not adding nuts to the recipe, some additional bake time may be needed.
  • Variation: 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels can be substituted for the Butterscotch Morsels.

Tips:

  • For the perfect chewy texture: Make sure to chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips or raisins.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking these cookies is 375°F (190°C). This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Cool the cookies completely before storing or serving: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
