This classic cookie has been a family favorite and a Christmas staple in our house for years! Oatmeal Scotchies are simply oatmeal cookies with butterscotch morsels in them. The rich taste of butterscotch added to the sweet, oatmeal batter makes for a unique and delicious treat. These scotchies have great texture. They're chewy crisp...chewy on the inside, crispy on the outside. When preparing this recipe, it may seem like too many oats at first -- but don't worry, the cookies come out perfect and all those oats give the cookies a great flavor and texture.
