Soft, chewy oatmeal butterscotch cookies with old-school charm and dangerous intentions
Some cookies are polite.
These are not those cookies.
These are Butterscotch Love Slap Cookies—golden, chewy, buttery little heartbreakers with rolled oats, brown sugar, and so many butterscotch chips they ought to come with a warning label. They look innocent sitting on the plate all rustic and wholesome, but don’t be fooled. One bite in and suddenly everybody’s acting like they “just need one more.” Lies. Crumbs everywhere. Dignity gone.
I made these for a birthday potluck using leftover holiday baking ingredients and a new oven I hadn’t really baked in before, and let me tell you, these cookies showed up dressed to impress. The cake flour made them lighter and softer than a traditional oatmeal cookie, while the oats kept that cozy old-school chew. And the butterscotch? Oh baby. That deep caramel-brown sugar flavor with that salty-sweet edge is what turns these from “good cookies” into cookie-related misconduct.
So yes, this is a real recipe.
But it’s also a mood.
And now, apparently, it’s a song.
Butterscotch Love Slap Cookies on tretaylor.com are chewy oatmeal butterscotch cookies with rolled oats, cake flour, and melty butterscotch chips, plus the funny soulful song that inspired the recipe.
Butterscotch Love Slap Cookies Recipe
Makes
About 24 large cookies, depending on how generous you’re feeling
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups cake flour
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats.
Stir in the butterscotch chips. Yes, it’s a lot. No, do not weaken now.
Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes from the Nomad Kitchen
Cake flour makes these softer and lighter than a standard oatmeal cookie.
The oats keep them hearty and chewy, so they still feel like a proper cookie and not some fragile little socialite biscuit.
Three cups of butterscotch chips is not excessive. It is commitment.
These are especially good slightly warm, when the butterscotch is still soft and melty and people start making questionable decisions.
Warning:
These cookies may cause flirting, hovering near the dessert table, and suspiciously dramatic compliments from grown adults. Side effects may include saying “Oh my God” with your mouth full and pretending you’re taking one home “for later.”
Intro to the Song
And because life is strange and wonderful, these cookies also inspired a slow, laid-back groove called “Butterscotch Love Slap.” It’s funny, flirty, a little ridiculous, and absolutely committed to the bit—like a late-night soul song wrapped in a cookie recipe and dipped in double entendre. The song came straight out of the spirit of these cookies: soft in the middle, bold on the outside, and impossible to ignore.
So while you’re baking, go ahead and put on “Butterscotch Love Slap” and let the whole kitchen turn into a low-lit soul train of butter, brown sugar, and sweet intentions.
