Oatmeal Scotchies are chewy, buttery cookies filled with hearty oats and sweet butterscotch chips. They’re simple to make, perfectly balanced with crispy edges and soft centers, and deliver a nostalgic, comforting flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the butterscotch chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers remain soft.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.

For a fall twist, mix in cinnamon or nutmeg.

Replace part of the flour with whole wheat or add flaxseed for a fiber boost.

Swap butterscotch chips with white or dark chocolate chips for variety.

Chill dough for 15 minutes if cookies spread too much.
