Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for delicious cookies.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, like a cloud of sweetness.

3. Step 3

   Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition to create a smooth batter.

4. Step 4

   Don’t forget to stir in the vanilla extract, which will add a lovely aroma and flavor to your cookies.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

6. Step 6

   Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the buttery goodness, mixing just until everything is blended—overmixing can lead to tough cookies, and we want them soft and chewy! Now it’s time for the fun part: gently fold in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for that perfect bite.

7. Step 7

   Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart so they have room to spread.

8. Step 8

   Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and your kitchen is filled with the irresistible scent of baking cookies.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re done, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
