Cookies are my kryptonite! I can pass up cake, no problem. Candy? Easy to resist. Pie? Well that’s for another blog post for another day. I think a post on pie may be coming soon…LOL! But set out a plate of homemade cookies? I crumble! I just can’t resist a bite sized, soft, chewy treat that’s loaded with chunks of chocolate and crunchy nuts. These cookies are not only easy to make, but they are probably the best oatmeal cookies I’ve ever enjoyed. That’s saying a lot because I adore oatmeal cookies. They are usually the one’s I reach for when given a choice. If you’re an oatmeal cookie lover you must give these cookies a try. You won’t be disappointed, I promise!
Preheat oven to 350℉. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners; set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Stir together the dry ingredients; set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add softened butter with the brown and white sugar.
Cream together butter and sugars on high speed for 3-4 minutes until mixture is light and fluffy; scraping down sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
Add vanilla and both eggs and beat until fully incorporated.
Reduce speed and slowly add reserved dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
Mix until you have a smooth dough, about 1-2 minutes.
Add oatmeal and stir until well combined.
Add semi-sweet and white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and chopped pecans to the dough.
Stir on lowest speed until well combined.
Use a cookie scoop to form even sized balls of dough. Place dough balls on prepared cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
Bake for 14 minutes, or until cookies are light brown and the centers are still very soft. Remove cookies from oven and allow them to rest on the hot cookie sheet for 4 minutes. Use a spatula to transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Oh my goodness these cookies are so stinking good! The oatmeal gives them a lovely soft and chewy texture and keeps them from being overly sweet. The butterscotch chips add a lovely flavor and the two types of chocolate are always welcome no matter what type of cookie it is.
These cookies give my all time favorite Classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies a run for their money. This perennial classic cookie never goes out of style.
