Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.75 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Quick-cooking oats
- 1.5 cups Butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the peanut butter to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the oats and butterscotch chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. They may appear slightly underbaked in the center but will set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delicious oatmeal peanut butter scotchies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
