I hereby declare Oatmeal Butterscotch cookies my all-time FAVORITE cookie. Mmmmmm. I love them. Always have. Always will. Just look at ’em!

I don’t really have a special recipe to share. Just the tried-and-true one on the back of the Nestle butterscotch chips. Nestle refers to them as “Oatmeal Scotchies,” which is kinda cute!🙂

I wanted to share a few things I’ve learned, however…

  1. You can easily make this recipe gluten free by using gf flour, rather than regular ( Cup for Cup is our fave!). In fact, I just made these with my sister-in-law this past weekend since both of our hubbies are gluten free. And when I say “we” made them, I actually watched her make them while I raided her pantry for chocolate. That’s how I roll.😉**NOTE: Some oatmeal is not considered gluten free, so be sure to check the label or look for oats specifically labeled “gluten free.”

  2. I prefer to use margarine , rather than butter. It makes the cookies thinner and crispier, sorta. But if you like a fluffier chewy cookie, then use regular salted butter. It’s hard to describe the differences, though, so just look at the pictures below. Top Pic: Regular recipe with margarine. Bottom pic: gluten free flour and salted butter. Both taste delicious!❤Which do you prefer??

  1. I say bake 9-10 minutes FOR SURE, but again, I prefer crispier cookies (and I know all ovens vary).

  2. This recipe does not lie. It really makes 4 dozen cookies ! I actually made 4 dozen + three! ha. So, some will go in the cookie jar, some in the freezer, and I set some aside for a girls night treat! WOO!🙂

Now, go bake some cookies! Or stop by and maybe I’ll share, if you’re nice.😉

XO!

I’ve never bought real garland before but found it at Lowes. It’s also sold at Home Depot, Costco, grocery stores, and other places too, I’m sure. Considering that you get 20 feet of it, I feel like it’s not a bad price!
