Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon hot water
  • 1 cup Nestle's Pumpkin Spice Chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups oats quick cooking or old fashioned
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugars, beating until fluffy and light colored.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just combined.
  • Add the flour mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
  • Add the hot water, butterscotch chips and oats and nuts if using. Gently stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  • Using a standard cookie scoop or a level tablespoon, drop the batter onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 7-8 minutes for chewy cookies, 9-10 minutes for crispy cookies. Do Not Over-Bake!
  • Remove from oven. Cool several minutes on the pan before removing the cookies to finish cooling on a cooling rack.

Notes

For larger cookies lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Using a large scoop, drop onto the cookie sheet, leaving plenty of space for spreading. Bake for 13-15 minutes - until the batter looks dry in the center. The cookies will be faintly browned along the edges.  They will flatten as they cool, yielding a wonderfully soft, chewy cookie.
