This oatmeal cookie recipe is the kids' favorite. It doesn't call for nuts, but I sometimes add about 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
-
Beat brown sugar, white sugar, margarine, and oil with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and stir until dough is just combined. Mix in oats and butterscotch chips. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
