Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Scotchies

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 2/3 cups butterscotch chips

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined.
6. Stir in the oats and butterscotch chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
