My sister passed this recipe onto me. Hope you like it.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon water
*the original recipe does not call for butterscotch morsels but i add a handful of them.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Dissolve the baking soda in the water.
3. Combine the flour, oats and brown sugar.
4. This is when I add a handful of butterscotch morsels, that might be equivalent to 1/2 cup.
5. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Stir in the baking soda mixture and form dough into a ball.
7. You can either press dough into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan or roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick and cut with a cookie cutter. If you roll the dough then I would advise that you omit adding the butterscotch morsels.
8. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes.
