These butterscotch oatmeal cookies are my new favorite cookies! I love anything butterscotch flavored and the oatmeal makes them chewy and soft.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 27 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a generous mixing bowl, blend the softened butter until it achieves a creamy consistency.
  • Add the granulated sugar and the brown sugar to the bowl, then beat until the mixture attains a smooth and cohesive texture.
  • Incorporate the room-temperature egg, milk, and pure vanilla extract, ensuring a thorough but gentle blending. Avoid over-mixing to preserve the cookie's texture.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • Gradually introduce the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring well until a harmonious dough forms.
  • Add the old-fashioned rolled oats incrementally, ensuring they become well integrated into the dough.
  • Finally, gently fold in the butterscotch chips, reserving a portion for later use.
  • Using an ice cream scoop or approximately 2 tablespoons of dough, place portions of cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Sprinkle the reserved butterscotch chips on top of each cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the center remains slightly soft.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Store the Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and delicious. Enjoy!
