When I left for college, oatmeal butterscotch cookies were the one treat I asked my mom to make for me on weekends I came home. I also asked for a box full of Kraft mac and cheese, Cool Ranch Doritos, and Ramen…not exactly a creative cook back then.
But when it came to cookies, I would much rather have butterscotch over Chocolate Chip Cookies or Peanut Butter Cookies.
I love butterscotch.
These Oatmeal Scotchie Bars are one of my favorite cookie bars! Have you tried them yet?
I also love No Bake Cookies. When the weather hits 90 degrees F and I have zero desire to turn on my oven, I choose no bake cookies as my stand-by dessert.
So it occurred to me, why not combine my favorite cookies with a no bake recipe??
These can be whipped up from start to finish in about 15 minutes. I like these cold, so storing them in a covered container in the refrigerator is perfect!

I am soooo making these. Adding the ingredients to my grocery list as we speak! These look AMAZING!
I love that you love butterscotch too!!! AND I love that you married that awesome flavor with no bake cookies! So perfect for hot summer days:-)
my grandma used to make these! I love them!!!
BEYOND IN LOVE with this idea! Scotchies are one of my fave cookies and no bake is perfect for summertime! I will be making these!!
No Bakes are one of my favorite cookies, but I never thought about switching the flavors up! I think I will try your Nutella version tonight!
Yum! What a wonderful no bake cookie! Perfect for beating the heat!
These sound simply delightful! Yum!
Yum yum yum!
I just made scotchies over the weekend!! I am loving the no-bake version though! I would’ve never thought to change up the ingredients and forget the oven. Looks delicious!
What a fantastic idea!! We are no bake super fans at our house so I can’t wait to try this 🙂 Pinned!

These sound amazing! Could you use Old Fashioned oats? I have those on hand. YUM!
These are delicious. Oatmeal scotchies are in my top 3 favorite cookies and the no bakes make them easy. If you have orange extract, try subbing it for the vanilla. It’s what my mom always used in hers and it makes them extra yummy.
I tried these and even though I only added 1 cup of sugar, they were still pretty sweet, but good for long cycling ride snacks where you need a lot of sweetness to keep peddling!
I just made these tonight. OMG! I love this cookie. I need to go to bed before I accidentally eat them all. Yum yum. 🙂
Thanks Nora, hope you had a good night sleep 🙂

We really enjoyed these! They are super-easy to make gluten free (just use gluten free oats). I found them on the sweet side, and I don’t usually find things too sweet! Mmaybe next time I’ll try one cup of sugar instead of two? I also added 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and used half regular and half quick-cooking oats. Great recipe!
I made these for the second time. I cut the sugar to 1 1/2 cups and that seemed a little better, still sweet but not to sweet. I took them to a party and received rave reviews. Thank you. I shared your page for the recipe.
Welp, I tried too with hopes of avoiding the oven heat. Sadly, my butterscotch chips DID melt into the warm mixture. I ended up with butterscotch flavored oatmeal lumps. Not sure what I did wrong.
But they are SUPPOSED to melt. That’s what these no-bakes are all about! Butterscotchy yummy oatmeal lumps! 🙂
I have made peanut butter and chocolate no bake cookies for many years. These are tasty cookies, however, I found they were a little too dry. They need a little more milk or butter, not sure which. Also, there is no way you could get 60 cookies out of this. I got 18 fifty cent size out of half a recipe. I think I will try to find my old recipes and use the butterscotch instead of the peanut butter or chocolate chips.
these cookies look very good and i think they would look adorable in little muffin liner
Great flavor but way too sugary. Need too cut the sugar way back
I just made these (kinda)! Instead of butterscotch chips I used Caramel flavored chips and added 3/4 cup of butter toasted chopped pecans! They turned out so well! I am definitely going to keep this recipe! Also I found a way to do it in the microwave and I haven’t messed up a batch of no bakes yet! I think that it is a tad on the sweet side but maybe next time I will try to sprinkle salt on top.
Love this twist! No bake cookies are where it’s at with the weather so crazy hot! Can’t wait to try!
Agreed 🙂
So beyond stoked that these are no bake – they’re perfect for our hot Florida summers!
I’m obsessed with no bake cookies 🙂

These were so sweet that they were inedible. I like the idea so maybe I’ll cut the sugar in half next time.
