Scottish Oatmeal Cookie Recipe: Oatmeal Cookies With a Sweet Touch Cookies Desserts

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!).

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.
