Notes
Tips:
- Freeze the prepared oatmeal scotchies for 10 minutes before baking to ensure they hold their shape and don't spread excessively.
- Use only old-fashioned oats for the best flavor and chewy texture.
- Despite the sweet nature of the cookie, salt is crucial for adding flavor, so don't skip it.
- Accurately measure your flour for precise results; fluff the flour and sprinkle it into your measuring cup before leveling if you don't have a kitchen scale.
- Refrigerate the cookie dough in a bowl for 2-3 days, but allow it to sit at room temperature for around 20 minutes before measuring it into cookies
- Opt for unsalted butter since salt is added to the recipe; if using salted butter, reduce the extra salt accordingly.
- If not a fan of butterscotch, swap them for chocolate chips.
- Allow the cookies to rest for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
