Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 piece large eggs
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1.5 cups butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat.

Step 3

Stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, mixing until smooth. Allow to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt directly into the saucepan. Stir until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the Scotchies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
