Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1.75 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the quick-cooking oats and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, 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 edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious, chewy Oatmeal Scotchies!
