I’ve been to Scotland twice, once while enrolled in a summer program at the University of North London. The second time I traveled there with my husband for Edinburgh’s International Fringe Festival, one of the most remarkable events I’ve ever attended. If I’m being honest, Scottish cuisine is not one of my favorites. I do, however, love some of the desserts (shortbread, for example!).
To make these easy oatmeal cookies you will need all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, old-fashioned oats and butterscotch chips.
These Scottish oatmeal cookies are like oatmeal cookies with a boost of additional flavor. This particular recipe doesn’t include raisins, though some do. I don’t think they’re necessary, though. The cinnamon and butterscotch morsels really make this recipe special.
Serve these chewy butterscotch oatmeal cookies for dessert or as a sweet snack. They would be delicious crumbled over vanilla ice cream!

- Gradually beat in flour mixture.
- Stir in oats and butterscotch morsels. (You could stir some raisins into the batter before baking, if desired.)
