Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and light brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the room temperature egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, fine salt, and optional spices and mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the old-fashioned oats and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop out 15 equal balls of dough and place them on the baking sheets, spaced about 3 inches apart.
  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to maintain the cookie's structure.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown and centers appear soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
