Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute while stirring to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the butterscotch chips and peanut butter until fully melted and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the quick-cooking oats to the saucepan. Stir until all the oats are thoroughly coated in the chocolate-butterscotch mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Using a spoon or medium-sized cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for quicker setting.
Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture if preferred.
