chocolate chip + butterscotch oatmeal cookies

by Amy on 27 August 2012

today, i’m participating in a fun blogger event — the secret recipe club. how does it work? every blogger is secretly assigned another blog + chooses a recipe from that blog to make. on reveal day (today!), all of our posts go up at the same time, + everyone gets to see who was assigned to their blog, which recipe they chose, + how it turned out. fun, huh?

this month, i was assigned K&K Test Kitchen, an adorable blog written by mother-daughter team kim + kelsey. i was so excited, as i had seen their blog in the past + loved it – it’s full of wonderful recipes, beautiful food photography + charming anecdotes. i literally looked through every single post (yep, 2+ years worth) while deciding what to make – their blog is addictive! in the end, i opted for these butterscotch oatmeal cookies, as i absolutely love oatmeal cookies. i decided to add chocolate chips as well, because adding chocolate to any recipe is almost always a good thing, right?

so, how were they? delicious, especially when they’re still warm from the oven + full of melty chocolate + butterscotch. even once fully cooled, they remain delightfully soft. some oatmeal cookies can be too dense, crisp or dry, but not these! the combo of the hearty oats, sweet butterscotch, rich chocolate + earthy cinnamon is just perfect. and if you really want to treat yourself? they’d be fab crumbled on top of a big scoop of salted caramel or dulce de leche ice cream. just a suggestion. =)

thank you to kelsey + kim for introducing me to this fabulous dish, + to the secret recipe club for connecting me with fantastic bloggers + amazing recipes!

I looooove chocolate chip oatmeal cookies but never thought to add butterscotch chips to them! Your photos are so so gorgeous, too…yum!

32 Megan @ girl by the lake August 28, 2012 at 1:21 pm

wow. these look so simple and delicious! (and I really do love recipes like that) And I think we should just start adding chocolate to everything. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt in, say, fried chicken or spaghetti! ha.

I love the idea of a secret recipe club. I’d love to join something like that one day!

Great post (as always)!

33 Jed Gray (sportsglutton) August 28, 2012 at 1:49 pm

37 Rikki August 28, 2012 at 10:15 pm

Chocolate & butterscotch is such a good combination! And I love the addition of cinnamon. Sounds too good to be true. :)

38 Kiran @ KiranTarun.com August 29, 2012 at 12:05 am

As if chocolate oatmeal cookies isn’t enough to tempt me, you just had to add butterscotch? That just pushed me to the edge. I want 😀

Butterscotch! I love love love love butterscotch. I have some butterscotch chips that I brought with me from the US but I can’t bake with them. I have to enjoy them in their purest form. :)

But one day I’ll be able to bake with butterscotch again! And when that day comes, it will be glorious. These look amazing! I love that you included a picture of the inside. More people need to do that!
