This Single Serve Oatmeal Scotchie recipe is a super small batch cookie recipe that is mixed up in one bowl with a rubber spatula (no mixer needed) and makes two large oatmeal scotchie cookies, loaded with butterscotch chips, that you can either have both yourself or share one.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar, light or dark
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/4 cup classic rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Chill Dough - I like to pop the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes while the oven finishes preheating. Prep - Get the oven preheating to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar - In a medium bowl, stir together the softened butter and sugars until combined (I like use a rubber spatula to ‘smoosh’ the mixture against the side of the bowl to really cream things together).
  3. Add Yolk and Vanilla - Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla until well combined. 
  4. Add Dry Ingredients - Stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Then fold in the butterscotch chips and oats.
  5. Roll into Balls - Roll the dough into two balls and place on a baking sheet. I like to use a large ⅓ cup cookie scoop (the same size I use to fill a standard muffin pan). I also like to press a few extra butterscotch chips in the tops for extra pretty cookies. 
  6. Bake - Bake for 11–13 minutes - until the edges are golden and set and the centers are just set. I like my cookies to have a gooey (not raw) center so they are extra tender, but you can adjust to your preferences.
  7. Cool on Baking Sheet - Allow the Cookes to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes so they will finish cooking on the sheet and set up the final amount. Enjoy!

Notes

Spoon and Level Method - When measuring flour, make sure to use the 'spoon and level' method. This is where you spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level off the top. Instead of dipping the measuring cup directly into the flour bin which can lead to over measuring.

Leftovers can be stored at room temperature, in an airtight container, for up to 1 week.
