I made these as the bar variation and my husband is VERY happy!!! The are buttery and rich...the perfect little treat. I think I may just have to try one reviewers orange peel suggestion. That sounds great too!

    Thanks for posting one of my favorite cookies! Luckily (or unluckily) I am the only one in my family who likes these, so I usually eat the whole batch myself!

    **JUST A NOTE- On the Nestle' butterscotch chip bag, it does say that you can use quick-cooking oats, too. Now, THESE ARE SOOOO GOOD! They're chewy, soft, and sweet. It seems like too many oats at first, but they come out perfect and give the cookies a great flavor and texture. I also undercook mine just slightly and they remain soft and chewy, but don't fall apart. Thanks for posting!

    I made these on two different cookie sheets-- one was non-stick and one wasn't. I had a pretty hard time getting them off of the non-nonstick pan without spraying the pan, FYI. Also, I cooked two pans in the oven at a time and let the ones closer to the heat element get brown on the bottom and then swapped them. Even if they are cooked a bit longer for the "crisp" type cookie, they still retain the shewy quality. I wouldn't recommend trying for the chewy type as I found the batch I cooked less just fell apart.
