Equipment

  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar -packed

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Butter a 6.5-inch cast iron skillet or a 5x5-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, stir together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla.
  • Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Make the dough: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Fold in the butterscotch chips.
  • Bake the cookie: Press the dough into the prepared skillet and bake for 18-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. The center may look slightly underdone but will firm up as it cools.
  • Cool and serve: Let the cookie cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Grease the Skillet: Butter or lightly spray the skillet or baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  • Measure Flour Correctly: Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid using too much, which can make the cookie dense.
  • Don't Overbake: The edges should be lightly golden when you take it out. The center may look slightly underdone, but it will firm up as it cools.
