Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Melt the base ingredients: In a medium saucepan, melt butter, milk, and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Combine with oats and chips: Once melted, stir in oats and butterscotch chips, mixing until everything is well combined.
- Shape the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to prevent sticking.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the cookies for about 1 hour, or until they have set firm.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from the refrigerator and serve these tasty no-bake cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture. Quick oats will result in a less chewy cookie.
- You can swap milk for a non-dairy alternative to make them dairy-free.
- Make sure the cookies are completely set before removing from the parchment paper to avoid crumbling.
- Store the cookies in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
- If you prefer, add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
