Apple Oatmeal Scotchies

These cookies are quite addictive so if you have zero self-control, I would encourage you to make them anyway. 😋 I love cookies with oats. It really adds heartiness and texture. Plus, they are good for you so it’s a win win! If you love apples, oats, and butterscotch chips, you will love the flavor of these cookies.

A combination of rolled oats and quick oats give this cookie the perfect texture. The grated apple adds a tiny bit of tartness (not too much) and the butterscotch chips are super rich and flavorful. These cookies are soft in the middle and slightly chewy around the edges. You won’t be able to eat just one. Easy to make and a perfect treat to share.

Let’s eat!🤍
