This is a staple of mine for potlucks, meetings, and the days when I just feel like baking cookies. These are large cookies! I often end up with closer to 50 smaller cookies, which would change the nutritionals accordingly (to about 70 cals per cookie).
The chocolate chip/butterscotch chip/raisin mixture is totally flexible; toss in whatever you want, as long as it's close to 1 1/2 cups! Try walnuts or macadamia nuts, or craisins.
I also always add at least 1 tsp of cinnamon, and sometimes a dash of nutmeg or allspice. For a healthier cookie, use applesauce instead of marg. (but it's not quite as tasty...)

Ingredients
| 1/2 |
cup margarine |
| 1 |
cup brown sugar |
| 1 |
egg, large |
| 1/2 |
tsp vanilla extract |
| 1 |
cup all-purpose flour |
| 1 |
cup rolled oats, quick |
| 1/2 |
tsp baking soda |
| 1/4 |
tsp salt |
| 1/2 |
cup chocolate chips, semisweet |
| 120 |
g butterscotch flavoured chips |
| 1/2 |
cup raisins |
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Place parchment paper onto cookie sheets. Let margarine warm up to room temperature (I put it on top of the oven to speed the process!), but do NOT microwave it! It should be creamy, not liquid.
- Cream margarine, brown sugar, egg and vanilla together.
- Add the flour, baking soda, rolled oats, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the 'add-ins': chocolate chips, raisins, or whatever you're tossing in.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the cookie sheets, approximately 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-12 minutes. (I usually end up with about 9 minutes for a nice chewy cookie.)
- Remove to a wire rack and let cool 2 minutes, then remove cookies to a cut-open brown paper bag on the counter (to absorb grease.. yuck, but it works). Let cool completely before storing.
