The Secret to the Perfect Oatmeal Scotchie
To get that perfect soft and chewy oatmeal cookie texture, the secret lies in two things: dark brown sugar and old-fashioned rolled oats. While quick oats work in a pinch, rolled oats provide that hearty, rustic bite that defines a true vintage cookie.
Pro Tip: For a deeper, “bakery-style” flavor, add a teaspoon of molasses to your dough. It enhances the butterscotch and makes the centers extra fudgy!
You can use regular brown sugar in a pinch…..
