Do you ever get a craving for fresh-out-of-the-oven oatmeal cookies? The kind that are so moist and tasty that there’s rarely any leftovers by the end of the day? But then you try whipping up a batch and they always seem to be a bit on the dry side? Well you’re about to try a batch that will stay soft and moist all day like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies should!

Chocolate Chip Alternatives

While we are big milk chocolate chip fans, I also love a little variation in my cookies. I highly recommend trying this recipe with either butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips. Honestly, I can never decide which of the three is my favorite so I tend to split my batches when I’m craving different flavors. If you like pecans, you may also want to try my version of my mother-in-law’s butterscotch pecan buttermilk cookie recipe. You won’t be disappointed!
