Oatmeal Scotchies in a Pan Recipe

These were a hit! I only used 1 cup of morsels in the dough and just sprinkled a few on top and they were plenty sweet. Tip: Cream and Butter and sugars well - add the eggs one at a time incorporating each one then add your dry ingredients and just stir to combine. You don't want to develop the gluten in the flour. Spread into the pan and I baked for 30 minutes. Very tasty treat!

These were a hit! My friends and family loved them. I chose to go with half butterscotch and half chocolate chips. I also added a cup of finely chopped walnuts as well as 1 tsp of vanilla and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. I used old fashioned oats rather than quick oats. I sifted all of the dry ingredients and put them aside. When mixing my wet ingredients in a separate bowl, I added the eggs one at a time. I mixed the chopped walnuts and butterscotch chips in before combining the dry ingredients. Once I had it all pressed and spread evenly into the pan, I topped it with the chocolate chips.

I made this and to amidst the recipe for a jelly roll pan (16x11) I 1 1/2 times the recipe and added 1 Tsp of cinnamon and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, So good!!!! But watch the time, I baked for 25 min, they got too done, next time, check at 20 min.....they were still good though!

Nostalgic cookie for me. Like others, I added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla with good results. Also, I lined the pan with parchment paper which made lifting and cutting easier. Will be making this again!

As others mentioned, the batter was quite thick and had to be pressed into the pan like a crust or cookie. I reduced the oats to 1 1/4 cup and the chips to 1 cup. Baked for 25 minutes and it came out very nice. I also added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry mixture. Thank you ABELAIRE for a nice cake. Will definitely make it again!

Very good. I did add 1/4 cup of water as one reviewer suggested which made them a little more moist, this is a big batter and I was thinking it was just a smidge dry. It worked perfect! More brownie like, but I didn’t stray off the the recipe except to add a teaspoon of vanilla. They were wonderful and awesome under a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

I made this very close to the recipe. I used old-fashioned oats, instead of quick oats, and I didn't add the extra butterscotch bits on top (only about 1 cup mixed in). It turned out beautifully! I baked it for about 25 minutes, and it was perhaps a hair underdone. Crispy bits but mostly soft and a little crumbly. As far as mixing: I did it the "bad" way (mixed all the flour, dry ingredients, and sugar first, then mixed in the butter, then mixed in the eggs). It was a bit harder to mix than I think it would have been if I'd done dry + wet separately then combined, but it turned out fine. The mix is a bit dry-looking, but tasted anything but dry when cooked! 10/10 will make again.

So yummy - the hit of the party. I added raisons and a little unsweetened coconut! Delish!

Very tasty! Lots of flavor and perfect texture. I followed it exactly with the addition of one teaspoon vanilla. These are definite keepers and better than the oatmeal scotchie cookies that I was too tired to make. I creamed the butter and sugar until fluffy prior to adding the vanilla and eggs. Wow! Thanks so much for sharing these treasures.

Fabulous texture. Bit crumbly, but I substituted flax meal for one egg (only had one) and added bit whole wheat flour, didn’t have quite enough due to covid 19. We just need some ice cream with them?? yum!!!

I just made these for the first time. Oatmeal scotch cookies have been my favorite for years. Many people mentioned that this recipe is sweat, it is, but honestly it calls for the same amount of sugar as other oatmeal scotch recipes.I did change a few things with the recipe. I used 1 cup wheat flour, and 1cup all purpose. Also like others mentioned, I added 1 tsp of vanilla. They came out great! I will use this again in the future.

I have been sampling these since I made them and ask myself why are these only made during the holidays?!! So delicious.

Perfect balance of flavor and simplicity.

NIRVANA. Spoon in pan. Spoon to mouth. Repeat.

Made these per the recipe the first time, but as others commented they were too dry. My hacks: add 1 tsp vanilla, use XL or jumbo eggs, reduce granulated sugar to 1/2C, and add 1/4C water. Much better, more moist and flavorful.

Yum! Since there were only a few of us eating them, I made 1/2 batch in a 9x9 pan and it worked great.

This recipe turned out great! I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla, but otherwise followed instructions exactly. Reminds me of the cookies my mom made when I was younger. There is a LOT of butterscotch flavor, so it is very rich. Next time I might reduce the amount and add chopped walnuts.

My husband’s grandmother and mother often made these as cookies and they’re one of his favorites. But he said these were even better because they weren’t as dry. I loved how easy they were to make. Stayed fresh a long time. I cut down chips by about a half cup but otherwise followed exactly!

This tasted great but where is the cinnamon? I added the cinnamon and some vanilla. Husband loves it!

I would not make any changes to this yummy recipe.
