OATMEAL BUTTERSCOTCH TOFFEE-CRISP COOKIES
These cookies are to die for!! I promise and so do all my friends, family and co-workers. I was looking for a thin crispy oatmeal cookie. I found a number of nice recipes and took ideas from many of them. On the third attempt, this is the recipe I came up with. Special notes, you MUST use parchment paper to bake the cookies on. If you don't they will stick to the pan and break (even if you grease the pan). The batter gets thicker as you add ingredients. I add the rice cereal last, so that they are crushed as little as possible. I have tried using more and less flour. Less flour and the cookies don't form. More flour and they don't get crispy. A special thanks to PanNan, who's Crispy Coconut-Oatmeal Cookies gave me the recipe's basic foundation.

Steps:
- Beat butter and sugars at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended; add eggs, vanilla and almond extract, beating well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; add to butter mixture, mixing well.
- Stir in oats.
- Stir in toffee bar pieces (don't use the "toffee dust" that comes from crushing the bars, just the small pieces).
- Mix in butterscotch chips. The batter will be very thick at this point.
- Gently but thouroughly mix in rice cereal.
- Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. (You do not need to flatten the cookies, they spread on their own). I only place 6 cookies on each cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.
- Gently slide the cookies off of the parchment paper onto wire racks to cool.
