Oatmeal Scotchies are my all time favorite cookie, so i really don't need a reason to bake them. I can eat those butterscotch chips right out of the bag. These cookies are a good way to incorporate some oatmeal into my kid's diet.
My daughter will eat oatmeal once in a great while, my youngest wont touch it even in a cookie. (its a texture thing for him). Me I love oatmeal cooked, baked or in a cookie. The oatmeal scotchie recipe is a cinch to make, the recipe is right on the back of the butterscotch chips bag.
You can bake cookies or just throw all the cookie batter into a baking pan and make bars either way they are the best oatmeal cookie around. What's your favorite cookie to bake????
Goodness cookie dough is my weakness. My Mom used to tell me every time I stuck my finger in the cookie dough bowl, that I was going to get worms from eating raw dough. When I was a kid I believed her. I'm sure it's the whole raw egg thing.
I'm
adult now and seeing that I survived my childhood of cookie dough
eating I know I am not going to keel over and die. Now when I make
oatmeal scotchie cookie dough, I tell my kids the same thing and they
believe me just like I used to believe my mother. ~grins~ I only tell
them that so I can have the cookie dough to myself. Shh they haven't
caught on yet.

Isn't it funny the things they'll believe? I love that about being a Mom for a very brief period I'm actually all knowning and will tell everyone so! :)
I've been blogging for a little less than a year and am learning about all these "holidays".
Not sure why but I never make cookies. My poor kiddos are cookie deprived. Your cookies look great and maybe should be my breakin recipe.

I love oatmeal cookies. I had no idea that there was such a thing as National Oatmeal Cookie Day. I guess now I know.
I've never tried it butterscotch, so this is a definite must try for me as I love butterscotch, too. =)
I've never even heard of oatmeal scotchies - I've been missing out! They sound fabulous!
Some food calendar I have, I missed National Oatmeal Cookie Day! I'm saving this link and this recipe for next year!
It's funny I use to bake Oatmeal Cookies in order to add more oatmeal to the kids bellies...Now they are all grown up and they are doing the same, My daughter with the kids and my son with his dog:)
I'll have to try the butterscotch. It sounds so interesting. I use to follow the Jumbo Chocolate Chip recipe in the Quaker Oats booklet. Thanks for sharing...
I love oatmeal scotchies!
I first starting making these cookies about 11 years ago (ACK! I am so old!) for my oldest boy.
But I still love to make peanut butter cookies the best :-)
