INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips

DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the dough:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Add oats and butterscotch chips: Stir in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the cookies:

Form cookie dough balls: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form dough balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies:

Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.

Cool the cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve:

Serve: Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Oatmeal Scotchies Cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
