High Altitude Perfection

Anne Sterry from Denver, CO

I have baked these closer to sea level in the past and loved them. When I moved to a higher elevation I had zero success until I tried this: increase flour to 1 1/2 cups, at a tsp of water with the flour and decrease both sugars to somewhere between 2/3 cups and 3/4 cups. I think I like them even better than before!
flat at higher elevations

Heather Casiano from White Sands, NM

I have loved this recipe for a long time. However, we now live in a higher elevation (4700 ft.) and I see no directions on how to adjust this recipe for higher elevations. Just following the recipe the way it is written here results in very flat, thin cookies that fall apart as I take them off the cookie sheets.
Wonderful!

Marie Foley from Hanover Township, PA

Not as flat as the regular oatmeal scotchies. However with both recipes I am a bit heavy handed with the oatmeal and never over mix. Will continue to enjoy this recipe with my family.
Substitute with peanutbutter morsels

Julie Robbins from FINGER, TN

I have substituted the butterscotch with peanut butter morsels and my husbands work requests them often. Everyone's wives are always requesting the recipe.
SOLDIERS FAVORITE

LUCINDA MIGOT from TEXAS

I MADE THESE AND SENT THEM TO MY HUSBAND'S AND SON'S UNITS IN AFGANISTAN. THE SOLDIERS LOVED THEM SO MUCH THEY KEEP ASKING ME TO SEND MORE. THEY EVEN SHARE THEM WITH THE LOCAL CHILDREN. THESE COOKIES HOLD UP VERY WELL IN SHIPPING. THE GUYS SAY THEY ARE THE PERFECT REMINDER OF HOME IN THEIR POCKET. I PACKAGE THEM IN ZIPLOCK BAGS OF 6 COOKIES TO FIT IN UNIFORM POCKETS. THE PERFECT SNACK FOR LONG DAYS AND NIGHTS, THESE COOKIES DO NOT MELT OR GET MESSY SO THE SOLDIERS LOVE TO PACK THEM IN POCKETS ON PATROL. THEY SAY THE CHILDREN LOVE THEM TOO AND THEY ARE GOOD FOR THEM SO THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING HEALTHY FOR THE CHILDREN WHEN THEY GIVE THEM OUT.

Very good cookie. although it states non greased pan you may want to add some nonstick spray. Even the one's who don't normaly like butterscotch seem to like this cookie. Nice change from the ordinary choc. or peanut butter cookies. even the
Delicious

Diane Byrd from MEBANE, NC

My sister just made these for our trip to the beach. They are fabulous. I just finished a batch and I don't expect them to last long again. A great variation to chocolate chips. Thanks.
AWESOME FAMILY PLEASER!

Christy Clarke from Everett, WA

These are my favorites, especially during the holiday season. This is also my brothers favorite and I made a double batch to thank him for helping us move. This is a great way to say thank you! Thanks for a such great and easy recipe.

scrumptious

KAREN HAWKINS from WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, MI

This has always been one of my husbands favorite cookies, the butterscotch morsels just melt in your mouth. They are definitely a family pleaser, you can't eat just one.
Excellent oatmeal cookies

These are the best tasting oatmeal cookies I've made! And I've tried lots of recipes recently. We will be having these again real soon!

My family loves these any time of the year, in bars or cookies. They are a wonderful surprise for my brother when he visits- his favorite!
Quaker Oatmeal Scotchies

Katrina Barry from MEDFORD, MA

Best oatmeal cookie ever! Quick and easy to make, a favorite in my house. Make sure the batter isn't too soft though or they will come out too flat. We like ours soft and chewy.
Quaker Oatmeal Scotchies

Mary Williams from SPRINGDALE, AR

These are the most flavorful cookie I have tried in a while. They didn't last very long. I am going to make another batch. Certainly recommend this one!!
very good

victoria henderson from WESTLAND, MI

These cookies were very good which surprised me. the only problem i had was that they spread out too thin but the recipe was great and the taste was even better.
Oatmeal Scotchies

AMY WITTENBACH from Topeka, KS

These cookies are delicious! They're best warm from the oven with a glass of milk. Underbake them slightly to prevent them from getting to dry when storing.
Spreading Cookies

RHONDA GOOD from ANN ARBOR, MI

If you add a little more flour these will not spread as much. Try the traditional recipe that is also provided here, it hold together better.
A Sweet Treat

Brooke Sadowsky from new york, NY

These cookies were a hit in my office, but be warned: They are VERY sweet!!!
Quaker Oatmeal Scotchies

Sheila Simoneau from BUXTON, ME

These are very chewy good flavor and because of the oatmeal they are healthy. Most everyone love a chewy cookie with good taste and healthy to boot.
Listen to Grandma

JANET McKeehan from Lake Elsinore, CA

I made these cookies today and found the cookies to spread and stick, as others have said. I didn't have butterscotch chips on hand, and added 1/2 cup coconut and 1 tsp cinnamon. Didn't have butter, either and used margerine. My Danish grandma would have had a fit! There's nothing like BUTTER to bake with!!
Oatmeal Scotchies

Brandy Ellis from DENVER, CO

These were great and everyone loved them. they were a different twist on the traditional oatmeal cookie.
Oatmeal Scotchies are the best!

Emily Mandile from Ellicott City, MD

I often make these cookies for picnics/ potlucks where there are 4-5 plates of chocolate chip cookies. They stand out in a crowd and I have always gotten great comments. My kids love them and so do most of my neighbors. I always make them for the holidays too as a break from chocolate.
Quaker Oatmeal Scotchies

Sheila Simoneau from BUXTON, ME

These are very good and so easy to make. Oatmeal is also so good for you. It is a good way to get some healthy food into your children without them knowing it.
really good

Sha Raburn from MINDEN, NE

I have made these many times. each time they are gone almost before I get done baking them. A treat for the whole family
They are Great!

Avis Burrows from Price, UT

My fiften year old son made these for a Sunday afternoon treat this week and he made them into a bar cookie and within just a few hours they were all gone and his brothers and sister kept asking him when he was baking more!
yummy

Lori from

These cookies are great! Bake for 8 minutes.

Kathryn Christy from Drumright, OK

I make these in bars and add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the batter They don't last long around here
Quaker Oatmeal Scotchies

Carole Dulak from mesa, AZ

These cookies taste good but they look horrible. They spread out and became thin when baking. Then after they cooled they broke apart when trying to get them off the baking sheet. I followed the directions to the letter and I will not make these again.I would not serve these cookies to a guest.
Quaker oatmeal Scotchies

Debbie Homolka from Grand Island, NE

These are one of my favorite cookies!
Good but...

Amanda from MI

These cookies are very good tasting! My problem like some of the other reviewers was that they spread out too much and I could not get them off the sheet. I put the rest of the batter into a round pie dish and baked them like brownies. That turned out fabulous!! Try them as brownies with vanilla ice cream and caramel, Yum!
Quaker Oatmeal Scotchies

Doreen Catoe from Lancaster, SC

I made this for our first Lent Supper at church. Everyone loved them.
Sweet Success

Aurora Soria from Royal Oaks, CA

I gave these away for Valentine's treats and received great compliments from all who tasted them. Fabulous, in my opinion!
Quaker Oatmeal Scotchies

Gwen Powell from Staten Island, NY

I made these cookies for work yesterday and everyone recognized them as their favorite cookies of all time! I added cinnamon and (somehow) misread the sugar measurements, so increased each to 1 cup. They disappeared QUICKLY. I will be adding these to my usual rotation.
Oatmeal Scotchies

RANDI FILIP from Martinez, GA

My kids enjoyed making these cookies. They were easy to make and my kids liked them. I felt they were a bit too sweet. If I were to make them again, I would reduce the amount of sugar and brown sugar called for in the recipe.
Oatmeal Scotchies

Kristyn Hutson from Rose Bud, AR

Whenever I'm hungry for oatmeal cookies, this is my favorite recipe to use. My family asks for oatmeal scotchies more than good old chocolate chip!
Mom's Jewel's

Stacy Holler from Edinboro, PA

I think this cookie is more of a favorite in my house than the traditional Chocolate Chip cookie. They started off as just my favorite, but as my kid's grew, their tastes improved. This is a favorite of my Parent's as well.
QUAKER OATMEAL SCOTCHIES

Debbie Ryder from Hot Springs, VA

I have made this so many times, it is a wonderful recipe the taste is .......sinful!! Although here lately I have been having problems, they turn out flat and when I go to take them off the sheet, they crumble, last time I made these, I ended up wtih a cake pan full of broken cookies, but they were still a good snack ! and I will continue to make these but hopefully will have better luck with them ! I have to be doing something wrong !
Oatmeal Scotchies that not only Scotchmen Love!

Margaret DeLorenzo from Navarre, FL

These are my alltime most favorite Cookie! The yummy Butterscotch flavor is such a compliment to the chewy oatmeal! I could eat the whole batch myself!
Quaker Oatmeal Schotchies

Eileen Weiss from New York, NY

MUCH TOO SWEET...and some of the dough oozed off the cookie pan onto the oven floor. I am grateful for a self-cleaning oven! I will NOT make these again!
Quaker Oatmeal Scotchies

Mary Seabrook from Syracuse, NY

I have made them several times and my best friend requested that I make a batch for my daughters wedding. Needless to say I made several batches and they were a great hit. They are very tasty and can be frozen. Because I work full time I am always looking for a cookie that I can freeze.
Horrible!!

Chrissy from MI

I tried to make these cookies thinking that they would be really good. I baked the first batch and they came out flatter than a pancake. I thought I messed up so I started all over and made a new batch following the recipe carefully. They were still as flat as a pancake plus they crumbled as I tried to take them off the cookie sheet. These are totally not recommended!!
Every one loved them

Evelyn Schaublin from Auburn Hills, MI

Friends and family gobbled them up. Not one was left after 2 days and a full batch made.
Very easy

Sherry Longoria from St Johns, MI

These are great my kids always love coming home from school in the fall when i usually make them. They can smell them when they walk in the door.
Tastey yet Crumbly

Donna Doxtater-Hawkins from Colonial Hieghts, VA

The recipe is easey to put together. The cookies taste great. But they didn't stay together after baking. I tried the chewy time and the crunchy time -- both were crumbly. My son loved the dough. I bet it would be yummy mixed with vanilla ice cream. I think you could also add some raisins.
Family and Friend Favorite

Michelle McShane from Vernon Hills, IL

These are my Dad's favorite cookies. So I've made lots of them. I decided to take them to work for a cookie exchange and everyone loved them.
