Note
Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed bag for up to 3 months.
Substitutions: You can substitute chocolate chips for the butterscotch morsels if preferred. Old-fashioned oats provide a chewier texture, while quick oats yield a softer cookie.
Tip: Ensure butter is softened but not melted for best texture. If dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk.
