"It's a great cookie, one of the kids favorites."
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups quick cooking oats
Directions:
1. Mix oil, margarine and sugar well. Add eggs
and rest of the ingredients a little at a time.
Then add the oatmeal. (This doesn't call for nuts
but I sometimes add about 1/2 cup-chopped).
2. Drop by teaspoon on ungreased sheet. Bake at
350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes
or until golden brown.
