Family recipe from my Grandma Patton. This was one of my favorites. It's easy to put together and makes a lot of cookies (70). Refrigerate or freeze wrapped in waxed paper and foil.
Ingredients:
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup english walnuts, chopped fine
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups sifted whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 3/4 cups quick oatmeal
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*.
2. Combine and melt filling ingredients in a double boiler. Keep warm.
3. Crust/Topping: Cream together butter and brown sugar.
4. Add beaten eggs and vanilla.
5. Add flour, salt and soda.
6. Stir in oatmeal.
7. Then, spread 3/4 of batter evenly on an insulated sheet pan (11x17 cookie sheet ) to create crust.
8. Spread filling mixture evenly on top of crust.
9. Take a teaspoon of topping and flatten with your fingers until the crust is about 1/4 thick. Place on filling mixture. Repeat for remaining topping.
10. Bake 18-22 minutes until light brown.
11. Cool COMPLETELY. Cut into small rectangles, 7 lengthwise and 10 widthwise.
