This Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookie Mix makes a great gift! It keeps for up to 6 months, and produces soft, chewy cookies. If butterscotch isn’t your thing, just swap out those chips for cinnamon or semi-sweet chocolate.

Serves: makes 36

INGREDIENTS

• • 1 cup all-purpose flour
• • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• • 1/4 teaspoon salt
• • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

To make the cookies:

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter, egg, and vanilla with a handheld mixture until combined. Add in the cookie mix and blend well.
2. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2-inches apart onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
