YUMMY OATMEAL BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES



Yummy Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies image

I was looking through all the wonderful Oatmeal Butterscotch recipes here on 'Zaar and was surprised that there was not this basic recipe which DH was craving. Found this one on Hershey's Kitchens website. These came out just how I rememebered them, chewy, sweet and delicious. In my oven the cookies came out best when cooked the full 10 minutes. DH sugggests that these may also be good for you because of the oatmeal, I think otherwise, but they sure taste good. These cookies freeze well too!

It's amazing that such a simple recipe can provoke such a wild reception! After taking these to a family gathering, it was the MEN who went over-the-top nuts! After writing the recipe out three times, I thought it would be easier to post it! (This is modified from a 'Magnolia' recipe.)

Time 45m

Yield 60 cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temp
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup flour (unbleached)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (I used kosher)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 1/2 cups quick oats (mine were organic)
1 cup butterscotch chips

Steps:

  • Cream butter with applesauce; then cream with sugars til smooth.
  • Add egg and vanilla; beat well.
  • Combine flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture.
  • Mix in oats and chips.
  • I used my 2-tsp scoop, slightly overloaded, and dropped on parchment a few inches apart.
  • Bake @ 350 degrees -- 11-13 minutes. I watched for a few bumpy tips to begin to turn golden, the edges just beginning to turn, too. 12 minutes was perfect in my oven.
  • Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Move to rack to cool completely.
  • Original recipe says yield is 36 but I got 60 doing it my way! They were perfect for little hands! (And the big hands felt less guilt reaching for a second -- and a third -- !).

OATMEAL BUTTERSCOTCH TOFFEE-CRISP COOKIES



Oatmeal Butterscotch Toffee-Crisp Cookies image

These cookies are to die for!! I promise and so do all my friends, family and co-workers. I was looking for a thin crispy oatmeal cookie. I found a number of nice recipes and took ideas from many of them. On the third attempt, this is the recipe I came up with. Special notes, you MUST use parchment paper to bake the cookies on. If you don't they will stick to the pan and break (even if you grease the pan). The batter gets thicker as you add ingredients. I add the rice cereal last, so that they are crushed as little as possible. I have tried using more and less flour. Less flour and the cookies don't form. More flour and they don't get crispy. A special thanks to PanNan, who's Crispy Coconut-Oatmeal Cookies gave me the recipe's basic foundation.

Time 30m

Yield 50-60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh grated
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats, uncooked
2/3 cup chocolate-covered english toffee bar, crushed into small pieces (3 Skor Bars)
1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
1 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)

Steps:

  • Beat butter and sugars at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended; add eggs, vanilla and almond extract, beating well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; add to butter mixture, mixing well.
  • Stir in oats.
  • Stir in toffee bar pieces (don't use the "toffee dust" that comes from crushing the bars, just the small pieces).
  • Mix in butterscotch chips. The batter will be very thick at this point.
  • Gently but thouroughly mix in rice cereal.
  • Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. (You do not need to flatten the cookies, they spread on their own). I only place 6 cookies on each cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.
  • Gently slide the cookies off of the parchment paper onto wire racks to cool.

BUTTERSCOTCH OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



Butterscotch Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

This is a recipe I got from a family friend then continued to tinker with. It makes a ton of cookies, but they go really fast.

Provided by Mirdreams

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 35m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup butter (softened) or 1 cup margarine (softened)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned oats (I use Quaker Oats)
2 cups butterscotch chips
2 cups raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Combine: flour, baking soda, salt and spices in a small bowl.
  • Beat (cream together): butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
  • Gradually beat in flour mixture.
  • Stir in oats, butterscotch chips and raisins.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoons.
  • onto cookie sheet.
  • Bake 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Cool 2 minutes on pan than transfer to rakes till cool.
  • Cook's Note in Response to Marg (CaymanDesigns)'s Review: I've found it's important to make sure you replace any of the add-ins you leave out (raisins or butterscotch chips) either with the same amount of another add-in or with an equal amount of extra oats. That will keep the cookie from being too "runny".

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients, such as real butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. This will give them a chewy texture.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them to set and prevent them from breaking.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture and sweet, buttery flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying cookie recipe, give these butterscotch oatmeal cookies a try.
