Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup salted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C).
  • In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar and sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes. 
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients and add in the egg and canola oil. Mix until well combined.
  • Next, add in the flour, rolled oats, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Mix until the dough forms.
  • Once the dough has formed, add in the butterscotch chips and mix until they’re evenly distributed.
  • Portion the dough out - for small cookies, use 1 1/2 tbsp of dough for each cookie. For larger cookies use 3 tbsp of dough. Roll the dough into balls. 
  • Place the dough balls on a cookie sheet lined with silicone or parchment paper. 
  • Bake at 350° F (180° C) for 8-10 minutes (small cookies) or 10-12 minutes (larger cookies). You’ll know the cookies are done when  the cookies spread slightly and no longer look wet and glossy on top. 
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!
