For these cookies, I found my inspiration on a bag of Guittard’s butterscotch chips, which are one of my favorite baking ingredients. I was lured in by the added appeal of chocolate and a simple recipe. And Quinn’s enthusiasm about having some homemade baked goods, which have been few and far between of late.
We are big fans of these cookies. I also used Guittard chocolate chips, which are another pantry staple for me. The combination of chocolate, butterscotch, oats, and pecans was rich without being overwhelming. As much as I like these with the butterscotch chips, though, I do think they would also be outstanding with peanut butter chips.
If you have the patience and will-power, these were better the day after baking them. I know I don’t always heed that kind of advice, so I certainly won’t fault anyone for diving right in shortly after they come out of the oven.
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 & 1/4 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease or line baking sheets.
Melt semisweet chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. Set aside to cool.
Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and oats in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix oil, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla using an electric mixer. Mix in melted chocolate. Gradually add dry ingredients until combined. Stir in pecans and butterscotch chips.
Form dough into rounded teaspoons. Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake 7-9 minutes. The centers will still be soft but will harden as they cool. Cool on baking sheets 3-4 minutes. Then, move to cooling racks to cool completely.

The printable recipe page is overlapped by the ad. Not sure if it’s my computer or a glitch. Just thought I’d let someone know.

I really shouldn’t be looking at your site while I’m hungry – these look so so good! I like the idea of oatmeal in there to downplay the sweetness a bit – and I’m a big fan of butterscotch chips

I like the flavor of butterscotch, but I always find butterscotch chips to be too large and (as a result) overly sweet. However, these cookies looked so good that I could not resist- so I wound up processing a cup of the oatmeal with a cup of the butterscotch chips in a mini-food chopper. You can still taste the oats, but the butterscotch flavor is not quite as overwhelming. Other than that, this recipe is fantastic. I never thought using oil in a cookie recipe would taste as good as this did!
