• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly grease cookie sheets and set aside.
• Combine flours, salt and baking soda in medium bowl.
• Place butterscotch chips in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave an additional 30 seconds if chips are not melted and smooth.
• Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl. Add egg, melted butterscotch, and vanilla. Beat until well blended.
• Add flour mixture, and beat until just blended.
• Stir in oats and sliced almonds.

• Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
• Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets, then move to wire racks until cooled completely.

ALMOND COOKIE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set 2 small custard cups or ramekins on work surface, bottom side up. Stir first 4 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Mix in almonds.
• Separately drop 2 level tablespoonfuls batter onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 6 inches apart. Using moistened fingertips, press each to 2-inch round. Bake cookies until deep golden (cookies will spread to about 5-inch diameter), about 7 minutes. Let cool on sheet until set enough to lift without tearing, about 1 minute. Using metal spatula, lift hot cookies 1 at a time and drape over cups, gently pressing to cup shape; cool. Remove from cups. Refrigerate baking sheet 2 minutes to chill quickly. Repeat with remaining batter, making 2 cookies at a time. (Cookies can be made 4 days ahead. Carefully enclose in resealable plastic bags and freeze.)

ALMOND BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Have ready 4 overturned teacups or custard cups.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan with the corn syrup and brown sugar. Stir in the almond extract, almonds, and flour.
• Drop 4 slightly rounded tablespoons of batter, evenly spaced, on the baking sheet and use the back of the spoon to spread them into circles 2 inches (5 cm) across. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, until they're deep golden brown. Let rest for 30 to 45 seconds, then lift each cookie off the baking sheet with a flexible metal spatula and flip it over onto an upended teacup. (If the cookies get too firm to shape, return them to the oven for 30 seconds to soften them.)
• Let the baking sheet cool, then repeat with the remaining batter.
• Storage
• Store these cookie cups in an airtight container. They are best served the day they're made. The batter can be made and refrigerated up to 1 week in advance. Let it come to room temperature before baking.
