What is butterscotch?
How do you make Salted Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies?
These cookies are easy to make using my favorite two-bowl method. Wet ingredients in one bowl: butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and molasses. Dry ingredients in another bowl: flour, salt, oats and leavening. Mix them together and you’ve got cookies. This is a great recipe for beginner bakers!
