Oatmeal butterscotch cookies are an irresistible treat combining the wholesome goodness of oats with the sweet, rich flavor of butterscotch. These cookies are perfect for sharing at gatherings or enjoying as a personal indulgence. Follow this simple and delicious recipe to make the best oatmeal butterscotch cookies you’ve ever tasted.

Ingredients:

– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

– 3/4 cup granulated sugar

– 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

– 2 large eggs

– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

– 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 3 cups rolled oats

– 1 and 1/2 cups butterscotch chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare two large baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

4. In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

6. Fold in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center.

9. Allow the oatmeal butterscotch cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy your freshly baked oatmeal butterscotch cookies with a glass of cold milk, a cup of hot tea, or on their own. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
