Recipe

These are chewy oatmeal cookies with the classic oat-forward dough, warm cinnamon, brown sugar, and crisp edges. Butterscotch chips make them a clear oatmeal scotchies-style variation while keeping the texture and structure of a traditional oatmeal cookie.
1 | cup unsalted butter, softened |
|---|---|
3⁄4 | cup granulated sugar |
3⁄4 | cup brown sugar, packed |
2 | egg, large |
1 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1⁄4 | cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled |
1 | teaspoon baking soda |
3⁄4 | teaspoon cinnamon, ground |
1⁄2 | teaspoon fine salt |
3 | cups old-fashioned rolled oat |
1 1⁄2 | cups butterscotch chip |
| 1. | Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until creamy and slightly lightened. |
| 3. | Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. |
| 4. | Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a separate bowl. |
| 5. | Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix just until no dry flour remains. |
| 6. | Stir in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed. |
| 7. | Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. |
| 8. | Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden while the centers still look soft. |
| 9. | Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. |
