- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in oats and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten tops of the dough balls slightly with your fingers.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes

- Store in an airtight container to keep them soft for days.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty twist.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform baking.
