Make Oatmeal Scotchies Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 2/3 cups 11-oz. package butterscotch chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugars:
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla:
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
  • Add Dry Ingredients:
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Stir in Oats and Butterscotch Chips:
  • Stir in the quick-cooking oats and butterscotch chips by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop the Cookie Dough:
  • Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set.
  • Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies chewy.
  • Cool the Cookies:
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
