Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until completely incorporated.
Add oats, stir until combined. Finally, stir in 1 ½ cups butterscotch chips.
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats², 1 ½ cups butterscotch chips
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator to chill for at least one hour,
Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350F (175C).
Drop cookie dough by 2 Tablespoon-sized scoops onto parchment paper lined baking sheets³, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.
Bake cookies in 350F (175C) preheated oven for 12-13 minutes or until edges are beginning to look golden brown. Centers may look slightly underdone when cookies are finished baking, they will cook completely as they cool on the baking sheet (don’t over-bake or the cookies will be dry).
If desired, press additional butterscotch chips into the surface of the cookies within 2 minutes of them coming out of the oven.

Notes
¹You can use all light brown sugar if you don’t have dark brown.²Do not substitute instant or quick oats or your cookies will be dry and crumbly.³I like to roll the dough between my palms before dropping on the cookie sheet to form a round ball of dough. This isn’t necessary but will make your cookies look rounder/prettier when they’ve finished baking.
