Cooking with Doyle

I had an itch for something butterscotch and this is what I came up with.  Unlike many oatmeal cookie recipes, these are soft and chewy (the way cookies were meant to be).

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1.5 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups quick cooking oats
• 6 oz flaked, sweetened coconut
• 12 oz butterscotch chips

Directions

1. Cream butter and sugars.  Add eggs and vanilla, beating well.
2. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Gradually combine both mixtures.
3. Stir oats, coconut, and chips.  Mix well.
4. Drop by tablespoon fulls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 350º F for 8-11 minutes.
6. Cool on wire racks.
