Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Allow it to cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 24 squares or rectangles to serve.
Enjoy these chewy, butterscotch-y delights! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
