Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or lightly greasing them.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
5
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6
Fold in the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, diced apples, and butterscotch chips until everything is evenly distributed.
7
Using a rounded teaspoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring there is about 1.5 inches of space between each cookie.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are pale golden brown. The centers will look soft but will firm up as they cool.
9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 1 minute, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
