Oatmeal Butterscotch Caramel Cookies

How fast is this week going?! Loving it. Let’s celebrate it being almost Friday with my newest cookie, shall we? I found this beautiful jar of dulce de leche caramel sauce from Argentina at the grocery store last week that I couldn’t wait to add to a cookie.

I must say these cookies were incredible right out of the oven, but I think my favorite was when I stuck a couple in the refrigerator. They got perfectly chewy and I could hardly keep my hands out of them.

Here’s your basic line up of ingredients and that beautiful jar of dulce de leche I found. Use any caramel sauce you prefer or even make your own. I have a recipe here if you’d like to use this one 🙂

How to Make the Best Oatmeal Cookies

I love oatmeal cookies, especially with butterscotch and caramel 🙂

Add your butter and sugars to your stand mixer.

Cream away!

Thanks to my little stinker for helping dump the eggs in 🙂

Here’s a closer look at that caramel sauce I was telling you about. It’s by La Salamandra and it’s so dreamy. Worth every penny. Like I said earlier, you can certainly use your favorite caramel sauce as a substitute.

Perfection.

Add those dry ingredients to the mix.

…..and those butterscotch chips.

Sneak one or two if you’re crazy 🙂

Yes, it’s done!

My little helper earned a good lick or two.

On the cookie sheet they go and into the oven.

Here they are, perfectly fabulous.

Love!

    HOLY COW. I just made these to send in a care package for my college student and his fraternity brothers and they are going to be lucky if they get 4 cookies sent to them. My husband and I have inhaled almost the ENTIRE batch since LAST NIGHT. Now I have to make another batch. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It’s brilliant.

    I just made these even though I bookmarked it when it was first posted. I only made one change–to increase the butterscotch flavor, I added a box of butterscotch pudding mix just before the flour and oats. They turned out great and are very flavorful. Great recipe!

    I made these cookies a few weeks ago but they didn’t come out right:( I did not have the caramel sauce you used, so I used La Lechera dulce de leche. It was almost if they needed more flour and oatmeal. They came out flat (baking soda was fresh), really, really sweet, and almost inedible. Did anyone have this issue? They look to-die-for in your recipe!

    Your mixer is to-die-for-GORGEOUS and I have to say, oatmeal scotchies are one of my favorite cookies! So sweet yet salty, chewy and crispy… just totally perfect. Adding caramel is totally an extra addition I can agree with. Yummy!

    Anything with dulce de leche calls my name 24/7 – I just love how comforting these cookies look!
