Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Mix-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients, ensuring the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smoother dough.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates the perfect base for tender cookies.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor throughout the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add this dry mix into the wet ingredients to avoid lumps.
  5. Incorporate Oats and Chips: Fold in the rolled oats, butterscotch chips, and chocolate chips gently, making sure each cookie will have a good balance of all the delicious components.
  6. Portion and Bake: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack; this helps them firm up without overbaking.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to ensure your dough mixes evenly for a consistent texture.
  • Don’t overmix; combine just until ingredients are incorporated to keep cookies tender.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to improve shape and flavor depth (optional).
  • Watch baking time closely and remove cookies while centers look soft to avoid dry texture.
  • Use fresh baking soda and pure vanilla extract to maximize flavor and rise.
