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!

Thanks for coming by, Charlotte. There is something so good about baking with oatmeal. I hope your boys enjoy the cookies!
I haven’t these cookies in a long time. Your cookies look divine! I bet there good with a glass of milk. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Merry Monday.
Boy, do these look good! Reminds me of my childhood. My mom used to make us oatmeal cookies. The kind that were soft and gooey in the center but crisp on the edges, just like this. Good memories. But I don’t think we ever had them with butterscotch chips, this sounds like comfort in a cookie. I would love to have this with my morning coffee!
Perfect with your morning coffee, Nikki! Oatmeal is the perfect comfort food. I love anything baked with it…plus, you get a little extra fiber.
These sound so delicious! And I love how you tied them up with the clothespin, adorable! Pinning to my cookie board. 🙂
Ahh, thanks, Erin! It’s always fun to pretty things up 🙂 These were a gift so had to package them up nicely. My friends loved them, so let me know how they turn out for you.
Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies are my husband’s favorite (and I love them, too!). I love how thin and crispy this version is. I bet it has such a great texture. YUM!
Yes, such a good and tasty cookie! I love when cookies have crispy edges. Except for chocolate chip, I like those chewy. Thanks for stoping by, Jenna!
Hi Erin, oats belong in cookies, it makes them so moreish. These cookies with their cinnamon and butterscotch chips sound the business, not sure I can get butterscotch chips here though (may have to think outside the box on this one!).

These looks tasty and yummy. Thanks for sharing. Stumbling.
#WAYWOW.

Oh, these look beautiful! I love a good oatmeal cookie. 🙂
They are tasty!! Who doesn’t love an oatmeal cookie??
Looks super delicious. I grew up eating lots and lots of oatmeal cookies, I’m sure adding the butterscotch makes the even better.
The butterscotch makes them so tasty and rich! They are delicious and fun to make and share! Thanks for coming by, Celeste!
Erin, these cookies look scrumptious!! I love butterscotch so I’ll definitely put these on my must bake list!!
Thanks, Keri! They are on my must bake list all the time 🙂 I just love the texture the oatmeal gives them, but the butterscotch give it something special!
Mmmh, I love oatmeal cookies and to add some butterscotch is a great idea! I love how pretty they look as well, almost too nice to eat them 😉 Thanks, Erin, for sharing at Sweet Inspiration #2! I appreciate it!

They look amazing! I’m trying not to make cookies right now, you know, trying to be fit and summer-ready,…but I might just be cheating this weekend 😉

Thanks! They are amazing, for sure! I know bathing suit season is around the corner, but a cookie now and again just makes life a little better. Since they freeze so well, you can keep them for later 🙂
