Directions:This old recipe was made in a gas oven at 375º for 12 - 15 minutes. Be sure to lower the temperature if you have an electric oven to 300º or less.
After creaming sugars and butter add in the eggs and vanilla. After being well mixed add in the flour, baking powder baking soda and slat.
Divide the dough into into 2, set aside bowls.
Add 1 1/4 cup quick oats to each bowl. In one bowl add the chocolate bits and walnuts and the other the butterscotch bits and coconut ...Mix each bowl well!
Drop Little balls of dough onto the cookie sheet. Watch amount for spreading in oven for next time.
When you roll the dough (by hand) make sure the balls are only a teaspoon full at a time. When you lay them on the baking pan make sure it is greased, and when you make your first batch, you should be sure they are not close, as they spread out and if they are too big, they will be stuck to everything near, instead of being separate cookies. I had this experience when I got to Florida, as everything was one large mass of cookie. You will also have to lower the time; at least 10 minutes, but once you get the size you need, you will love the results.
Try starting with a small ball the size of a nickle and look into the oven after they are in 10 minutes, I have adapted this recipe to include chocolate bits with coconut and with the other half of dough I used butterscotch bits with walnuts, chopped.
They will keep in tightly covered containers, although I am sure they will be gobbled up very soon. |
