Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream unsalted butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, fine salt, and ground nutmeg. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until blended.
  5. Fold in old-fashioned oats and butterscotch chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
