Oatmeal Scotchie Bars
Soft, chewy, butterscotch cookie bars with a hint of cinnamon.Makes about 24 bars.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish.In a large bowl, cream together the the butter, both sugars, and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon and beat on low speed until combined. Stir in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips until evenly distributed. Spread mixture into the buttered baking pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown on top and cooked through. Cool at least 5 minutes before cutting.
Notes
I find the easiest way to spread thick, sticky mixtures like this dough out into a pan is by using plastic wrap. Spoon dough into the pan, cover with plastic wrap, and press until the dough is evenly spread out. The plastic wrap peels off easily, and your hands stay clean!
If you like gooey cookie bars, dig in after they've had a chance to cool a bit. If you prefer your cookie bars on the firm-but-chewy side, chill before cutting.
