Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

I love these cookies. My kids love these cookies, too. They freeze well, they're quick and easy to put together and safe to send to school(no nuts). They don't last long in my house. Made from simple, basic ingredients, these cookies are a staple in my freezer.

Make them soft and chewy or crispy, however you prefer. Just increase the baking time a bit for a crispier cookie. My family likes their cookies soft and chewy.

They are really easy to make. Watch my 11 year old make them on you tube.

Like most cookies, start by combining room temperature butter and the sugar. In this case it's both white and brown sugar. Mix with an electric mixture for 2 or 3 minutes until lit is well combined and the colour lightens a bit. This technique is called creaming.

Next, add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture

Combine the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Or do like I do and just add these ingredients to the bowl. Mix gently on low speed to just combine.
Add the butterscotch chips, mix to just combine.

Drop by tablespoon onto an unbaked baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

 Let the cookies sit on the hot pan for a minute or two then remove them to a cooling rack. Repeat the process. Make sure that you let the baking pan cool before you drop more cookie dough onto it.

Dip the cookie in the batter! Brilliant!

Rolo Two Bite Brownies

Just a few basic ingredients make a delicious chewy fudgy brownie. So quick to put together and one bowl to clean up, too.

Don't buy a boxed mix again.










Combine flour, sugar, salt, cocoa, vanilla, oil, eggs, and water. Mix with electric mixer just until combined.

Fill four dozen mini muffin cups that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Underbake a bit so the middle is very fudgy.

Remove from oven when they are done . Let them sit in the hot pans for five minutes. Remove brownies to a cooling rack.

Push a mini rolo candy on top of each brownie while they are still warm.

Let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container. They freeze beautifully.

Ooey, gooey, good
