Oatmeal Scotchies in a Pan

I have been sampling these since I made them and ask myself why are these only made during the holidays?!! So delicious.

These were a hit! My friends and family loved them. I chose to go with half butterscotch and half chocolate chips. I also added a cup of finely chopped walnuts as well as 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. I used old fashioned oats rather than quick oats. I sifted all of the dry ingredients and put them aside. When mixing my wet ingredients in a separate bowl, I added the eggs one at a time. I mixed the chopped walnuts and butterscotch chips in before combining the dry ingredients. Once I had it all pressed and spread evenly into the pan, I topped it with the chocolate chips.

This recipe turned out great! I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla, but otherwise followed instructions exactly. Reminds me of the cookies my mom made when I was younger. There is a LOT of butterscotch flavor, so it is very rich. Next time I might reduce the amount and add chopped walnuts.

These were a hit! I only used 1 cup of morsels in the dough and just sprinkled a few on top and they were plenty sweet. Tip: Cream and Butter and sugars well - add the eggs one at a time incorporating each one then add your dry ingredients and just stir to combine. You don't want to develop the gluten in the flour. Spread into the pan and I baked for 30 minutes. Very tasty treat!
