30 minThe “double whammy” here is the combo of semi-sweet chocolate pieces and butterscotch chips baked into a buttery, oat-loaded cookie dough. One brings deep cocoa richness, the other brings warm, caramelly sweetness. Together? Absolutely dangerous.
Three cups of rolled oats give these cookies their hearty chew and toasty flavor, while a full cup each of white and brown sugar creates that irresistible crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture.
This batch makes 60 cookies, so you’ll have plenty for the cookie jar, school lunches, and late-night snacking.
Variations
- Swap the chocolate and butterscotch for candy-coated chocolate pieces and raisins
- Try peanut butter chips with chopped dried fruit for a trail mix vibe
- Use chopped nuts and dried cranberries for a fall-inspired version
Kitchen Tips
- Drop dough by rounded teaspoons, not tablespoons, for cookies that bake evenly in 8 to 10 minutes
- Cool on the sheet for one full minute before transferring so they hold together

These sound really good but why aren't all the ingredients included in the nutrition facts? Going by what it shows, these look to be a whole lot healthier than what they are.
