Last night seemed like the appropriate time to bust my (non-intentional) non-baking streak. I had half a bag of butterscotch chips in the freezer, some macadamia nuts, and no chocolate chips. A small bag of macadamia nuts from Central Market's bulk section ended up being $4.00 and I couldn't decide if it felt like wasting them to put them in a cookie..but I have no regrets. They're delicious.
I still haven't finished the purse I started. I can't get the purse frame onto the top ledge (hard to explain, but one of these.) I quit working on the purse and starting knitting a scarf. And like most weeks of the past month, I've been watching lots of Mad Men.
Butterscotch Macadamia Nut Cookies
1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/2 cup quick oats
7/8 cup unbleached white flour
7/8 cup toasted macadamia nuts
1 cup butterscotch chips
Preheat oven to 375F. Toast the macadamia nuts. Beat the butter, salt, sugar, baking soda and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs and then the flour. Add oats, nuts and butterscotch chips. Drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on a cooling rack.
