These oatmeal butterscotch cookies are one of my favorite cookie recipes to make in fall and winter months. They are crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside. The teaspoon of cinnamon gives the regular oatmeal cookie some added depth and the butterscotch chips give them an added perfect flavor.
In the cooler months it has become a tradition for us to gather around the table with warm cookies and a glass of milk. Sometimes we do it after school or other times at the end of a busy weekend. It’s an opportunity for us to connect and talk with each other. As you an see below, these cookies are a hit with my crew!
