Ever taken a bite of a cookie and felt like your afternoon just got a hug? These oatmeal scotchies are the kind of treat that makes that happen. They're chewy, cozy, and filled with sweet butterscotch chips—like grandma’s recipe, if grandma was into low-stress baking. I always keep a stash of these in the freezer, not because I’m disciplined, but because otherwise I’d eat half the batch warm off the pan. You get that satisfying oat texture, that buttery richness, and then—bam!—a hit of butterscotch that makes your taste buds perk up like they just heard their name. And the best part? You don’t need a mixer or a culinary degree. If you can measure sugar and stir a spoon, you're in. This cookie recipe brings together everything I love about baking: low effort, big flavor, and a smell that makes people wander into the kitchen asking, ‘What’s in the oven?’ You tell them it’s a ‘sweet easy recipe’—and maybe share one… maybe.
