I’m such a cookie lover. There are not too many that I have tried that I don’t love. There is something about a handheld dessert that you can just grab one or two (or more) and be on your way! No-bake cookies are a great option in the summer when you don’t want to heat your house when using the oven. But what if you are not in the chocolate mood? I have a solution for you. . .No-Bake Oatmeal Scotchies. This small-batch recipe of No-Bake Oatmeal Scotchies is a perfect treat for you and your hubby!

This recipe is very similar to the no-bake cookies you grew up eating, the ones made with cocoa and peanut butter. But, these No-Bake Oatmeal Scotchies do not have cocoa. Instead, they have butterscotch morsels. The butterscotch morsels give the cookie its sweetness. Also, the morsels, along with the butter, help the cookie take on the consistency of a no-bake cookie once it cools.

Making these No-Bake Oatmeal Scotchies is easy and quick. First, measure out the butterscotch morsels and set aside approximately half of the morsels to top each cookie. Next, add the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and milk to a small saucepan. Over medium-high heat bring the ingredients to a boil and boil for one minute. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, salt, and butterscotch morsels (the ones not reserved for topping the cookies). Finally, stir in the oatmeal until all ingredients are combined. Drop the cookie batter onto parchment paper using a cookie dough scoop and top with the remaining butterscotch morsels, set aside earlier. I usually use a 2 tablespoon size cookie dough scoop (yields 6-7 cookies).
