Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup quick oats
• 1.5 cups butterscotch chips
• 1 cup chopped cashews

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth, using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the quick oats, butterscotch chips, and chopped cashews until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as the cookies cool.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
