Tips for Perfect Oatmeal Scotchies:

  • Don't Overbake: For that signature soft and chewy texture, pull them from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  • Room Temperature Butter & Eggs: Ensures a smooth, well-combined dough and a consistent cookie texture.
  • Old-Fashioned Oats: These are key for the best chewy texture; quick oats can make them a bit denser.
