Amazing Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

Amazing Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

Cookies! Yum! One of my favorites is chocolate chip {I could probably eat a whole batch of those goodies if I didn’t eat the dough first}, but sometimes I want something a little different.

These Amazing Oatmeal Butterscotch cookies are a close second. They’re soft and chewy, with just a slight crisp around the edges. The oats, butterscotch and just a hint of cinnamon give them perfect taste and texture.

The other thing I like about these cookies is that they freeze well. I bake up a batch and freeze part for later. Since the kids pack their own lunches, it’s an easy treat for the them to grab and go.

Although my family doesn’t like it very much, I enjoy giving baked goods away. This batch of Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies went to some friends who just moved into a new home. What better way to be welcomed to your new home than fresh baked cookies!

Helpful tips

• These cookies tend to spread a little while in the oven, so make sure your baking soda is fresh.
• The secret to chewy cookies with a slight crisp on the edges, is this baking mat.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving to the cooling rack. They come out of the oven very soft.
• Let the baking sheet cool completely before adding the next batch.
• For ease, use a trigger ice cream scoop like the one below to place on baking sheet.
• These cookies taste way better once they’re cooled!
