Preheat oven to 350.
Spray jelly roll pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Make a DOUBLE batch of fat-free oatmeal raisin cookies -- but DO NOT put in the raisins, and QUADRUPLE the cinnamon instead of doubling it (to 2 t). Note also that light corn syrup has HFCS -- I used Karo dark instead.
Once you have the gluey-looking oatmeal batter, add 1 C of dairy-free butterscotch chips. (Note -- I think Nestle butterscotch chips have dairy. I buy a generic kind that's safe except for the gobs-of-fat factor.)
Once these are mixed in, press the batter into the pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until done. They should be brown around the edges and maybe a tiny bit sickly-white in the very middle. Don't overbake!!!
These are best served warm, but it is certainly possible to eat half the pan when they're cold, too.

Ooh! Jen, you just made my day. I had no clue there was such a thing as dairy-free butterscotch chips. I'm going to have to look for those ASAP!

Ooh, I love oatmeal scotchies - must be my Iowan childhood. I'm saving this one and making it when the heat index is out of the 90s.....
Thanks!

I'm not sure how hard it would be to find them in your neck of the woods. I guess if all else fails I can mail you a bag when the temperature drops.
