Oatmeal Butterscotch / Chocolate Chips Cookies

Makes about 48 medium cookies (approx. 5 cm in diameter)

This cookie is chewy in the mddile and slight cripiness at the edges and the best part of it is that you can make the dough, use what you need and keep the rest in the freezer for up to a month! Simply leave it to room temperature and bake!

Try not to skip or replace the shortening part as it is the key to achieve the lightness and slight crispiness of these cookies
