So, the other day I asked my friend what their favorite cookie was…and their response?  It was not the average chocolate chip or peanut butter…but it was “Oatmeal Butterscotch”

Then, my sister told me that one of her husband’s favorite cookie was Oatmeal Butterscotch…

Am I missing something here? 

I don’t think that I have had an oatmeal butterscotch cookie. So that means that there is a cookie out there worthy of the “favorite cookie” title that I have no idea about.  Now, this cannot happen!  So I decided to make these cookies myself…

I don’t know the perfect recipe for Oatmeal Butterscotch cookies.  But I usually trust the classic Nestle Toll House recipes.  So I adapted my recipe from the of the Oatmeal Scotchies recupe on the back of the bag of Nestle Butterscotch chips.

Trust me, try these cookies and you will not be disappointed!
