This easy Oatmeal Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/strong> recipe is a variation of one of my favorite classic oatmeal cookie recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These cookies begin with a nice, chewy base made with rolled oats, and I add a blend of half milk chocolate chips and half butterscotch chips — a ratio that tastes just right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients and Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what you’ll need to make these oatmeal butterscotch chocolate cookies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon baking soda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\/4 teaspoon salt<\/strong> – I used fine sea salt, or you can use 1 teaspoon kosher salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter<\/strong>, softened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3⁄4 cup granulated sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3⁄4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar<\/strong> – Light brown sugar is fine, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 large eggs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats<\/strong> – for the best texture, use rolled oats instead of instant or steel cut oats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup butterscotch morsels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step by Step Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and lightly grease or line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a large bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the oats and use a sturdy spoon to stir until well combined. Add the butterscotch and chocolate chips and stir until they are incorporated throughout the dough. The dough will be quite stiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls on baking sheet, 2 to 3 inches apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cookie<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flatten slightly. Bake for just until edges are lightly browned, about 8 to 9 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove from oven, cool on the pan for 1 minute, and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
