Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups oats not instant
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 stick of unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 cups butterscotch chips
  • 1 Tbsp. molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom
  • flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a stand mixer or electric handheld mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluff. Beat in the egg, vanilla and molasses until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the oats, flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt.
  • With the mixer running, slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in the butterscotch chips.
  • Drop the batter in tablespoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 14-16 minutes. Cookies will still be soft, but they will continue to bake on the sheet once they are removed from the oven. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
