Nancy's Ranch Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter - softened (2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs water
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups butterscotch morsels
2 cups corn flakes
1 cup chopped walnuts

In large bowl, beat the butter and the granulated and brown sugars until mixed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla and the water. In medium bowl, add the dry ingredients to butter mixture and beat until combined.  Add the oatmeal, butterscotch morsels, corn flakes and walnuts - mix well. Place heaping teaspoonfuls of batter, about 2 inches apart, onto oiled baking sheets. With moistened fingertips, gently press each cookie to flatten it slightly. Bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Makes about 80 cookies.
