1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar

HOW TO MAKE ORANGE’S FAMOUS OATMEAL SCOTCHIES
Step 1: In a large bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat using an electric mixer until smooth.
Step 2: Beat in the egg until well combined. Followed by the vanilla, then, the last egg. Mixing well every after addition.
Step 3: In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 4: Mix in the flour mixture about half a cup at a time into the butter mixture. Fold in the oats and butterscotch chips. If the dough isn’t firm enough, you can add in more rolled oats about 1/4 cup at a time until you reached your desired consistency.
Step 5: Place the dough in the fridge for at least 1 to 2 hours before baking.
Step 6: Meanwhile, prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.
Step 7: Roll a heaping tablespoonful of dough into balls. Place the balls on baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until very light brown and the cookies are done in the middle.
Step 9: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the baking sheets. Cool the cookies completely on wire racks.
