King Arthur Butterscotch Macadamia Nut Cookies
"This recipes describes itself as "Crunchy, sweet, salty, and satisfying. Nuts add a little more fun to an already delicious butterscotch oatmeal cookie." A tip noted was "The texture of these cookies changes completely if you substitute old-fashioned (or thick oats) for quick-cooking oats. Cookies made with old-fashioned oats will spread much more, sometimes to the point of becoming lace cookies; we prefer using quick-cooking oats in this recipe" Posted for safe keeping."
