A few months ago, I introduced you all to White Chocolate & Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies. I mentioned that the recipe is quite versatile, and you can make it into several different kinds of cookies. As Oatmeal Scotchies are one of my favorite cookies, I wanted to make sure these cookies got a post of their own!
For detailed, step-by-step shots of this recipe, please see the White Chocolate & Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies post. Except, when you are adding the “ingredients of your choice”, mix in about 2 cups of butterscotch chips.
What I often do is make the whole recipe of this cookie, and then divide up the dough, either in halves or thirds. I’ll then add different things to each part, and sometimes leave the extras out for just plain oatmeal cookies. You can get a lot of variety out of one dough!
