INGREDIENTS

• 1 ¼ cups (2 ½ sticks) butter, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for finishing)
• 2 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 ½ cups butterscotch morsels
• OPTIONAL: 1 cup of peanut butter

DIRECTION

1. Preheat oven to 325°F convection.
2. In a food processor, process oats until they become a very coarse flour.
3. In a bowl, whisk together processed oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
4. In another bowl, mix together brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix it with your hands (or a spoon) until the mixture becomes a light, fluffy mix.
5. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugars on medium-high until light and fluffy, 6 minutes.
6. Reduce speed to low, add the eggs and gradually increase the speed until you’re on the highest setting.
7. Reduce the speed back to low and add vanilla. (If you’re going to add peanut butter, do so now.)
8. Add in dry ingredients 1/4 cup at a time in 1-minute intervals. Once all of the dry ingredients are added, beat for a minute or two just to make sure the ingredients are very well-mixed. Turn off the mixer and remove the bowl from the stand mixer.
9. Add in the chocolate chips and mix by hand to incorporate.
10. Scoop cookie dough onto a parchment-lined sheet tray using the small-sized scoop. (approx 1″ balls)
11. Bake for 13 minutes or until golden brown on top but still slightly soft in the middle. Remove the trays from the oven on to cooling racks, do not remove cookies from tray. Sprinkle with a little extra kosher salt on each cookie and let cool on trays before removing cookies from tray.

NOTES From baking

1. 5 cups of total chocolate and butterscotch was a lot of chips. I would recommend 2 cups each.
2. If you forgot to take out the eggs, put them in a bowl of warm water for about 5 mins to take the cold from them.
