How to Make Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

Preheat the oven – Preheat the oven to 350° and line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Beat the wet ingredients together – Beat the softened butter until smooth and add the granulated sugar and the brown sugar and beat until smooth.

Then, add eggs one at a time and beat until incorporated. Lastly, beat in the vanilla to combine.

Combine the dry ingredients – In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnaon, and baking soda and mix to combine.

Combine the flour mixture with the wet mix – Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until incorporated.

Slowly, add the quick oats to the cookie dough until all ingredients are incorporated.

Once the oatmeal is mixed in, gently stir in the butterscotch morsels.

TIP: A hand mixer makes this recipe quick and easy to make vs. mixing by hand.

Scoop the cookie dough – Use a #40 cookie scoop (or scoop by 1 1/2 tablespoonsful of dough) and scoop cookie dough onto the cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake the cookies, one cookie sheet at a time for 10-11 minutes.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Store the cookies in an airtight container.
