Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Hand Mixer
- Baking Sheet
- Cooling rack
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg powder
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups whole grain rolled oats
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons butterscotch chips divided
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons bittersweet dark chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the whole egg and egg yolk, followed by the vanilla, mixing until the mixture is pale and light.
- Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Gently fold in the oats, ½ cup butterscotch chips, and ½ cup chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Using an ice cream scoop, scoop 2 tablespoons of dough onto the baking tray, spacing each 2 inches apart.
- Press the remaining chocolate chips and butterscotch chips onto the tops of the cookies.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the edges are golden, and the centers are just set. Let the cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
- Serve warm with a glass of milk for a cozy treat.
Notes
- For extra chewy oatmeal cookies, chill the prepared cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- To store, place cooled butterscotch oatmeal cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
