Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 11 oz package butterscotch chips
  • ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips plus extra for the top

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix the flour, sea salt, baking soda and cinnamon together. Set aside

  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely

Notes

Chill dough for at least an hour in the fridge to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
I find it easier to scoop the cookie dough into dough balls and then chill as opposed to letting the dough chill in the bowl. Do whatever works best for you.
Swirl a large drinking glass or circle cookie cutter around the cookies immediately after removing from oven for a perfectly rounded cookie.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. 
Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls or baked cookies for up to 3 months.
