Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chips

  • 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Measure out all dry and wet ingredients accurately for the best results.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air and creates a tender cookie base.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and the batter is smooth and glossy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Fold in Oats and Chips: Gently fold in the old-fashioned oats, butterscotch chips, and chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution without crushing the chips.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures ideal chewy texture and prevents breakage.

Notes

  • Chill your dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
  • Use old-fashioned oats for the best chewy texture; quick oats are not recommended.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies when edges are set but centers are still soft for ultimate chewiness.
  • Fold chips in gently at the end to avoid breaking them.
  • Adjust brown and granulated sugar ratios to customize sweetness to your liking.
