This month Tag Sale Tastes is 10 years old!  I had some posts planned, but Covid kinda got in the way, so those posts will have to wait.  Meanwhile, here is an old favorite recipe for Brickle Drop Cookies.  I think it was originally on the back of packages of Heath Bits O’ Brickle.  I recently made a batch for the office cookie jar, and let’s just say they were well received.  Easy and delicious — the best kind of cookie!

BUTTERSCOTCH OATMEAL COOKIES

How’s your 2022 going so far?  Ours got off to a horrible start — kinda made us miss 2020.  But hope springs eternal, and things are starting to look up.

At the start of the year I brought a cookie jar to the office.  It’s a cut crystal one, and it was just sitting around the house–I don’t recall where or when I got it.  It’s much happier at the office, and from time to time, as the mood strikes me, I fill it with cookies.  The cookies are usually homemade, although no one has complained about the Girl Scout Caramel Delites that have appeared a few times.

The first cookies to show up in the cookie jar were these Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies–an oldie but goodie, just like me.  They disappeared quickly.  🙂

Ingredients
  • 2-1/2 sticks of butter, softened
  • ¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups Quaker Oats (quick oats or old-fashioned, uncooked)
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Place butter and sugars in a large bowl, and beat with an electric mixer until creamy.  Add egg and vanilla, and beat well.  Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing well.  Stir in oats and mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake for 8 to 9 minutes for a chewy cookie, 10 to 11 minutes for a crisper cookie (we prefer them crisper).  Cool briefly on cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

These have stood the test of time

Everyone loves a good cookie!
