I love cookies that have oatmeal in them. I love the chewy texture it brings to the cookie. It’s kind of funny that I do like oatmeal in cookies because I do not enjoy eating a bowl of oatmeal. I much prefer cooking with oats.

When I think of fall flavors I I think of apples, of course, and butterscotch. I tossed the oats in for good measure. It was just the right thing to do.

The scent of fall wafted through the house while these were baking. It brought kids out of Saturday hiding to see what was baking. A tall glass of milk and a couple of warm, just from the oven, cookies later and they were deemed delicious.

Butterscotch apple oat cookies are full of fall flavors.

My foodie loving kid did offer up some alternative suggestions, because he’s creative that way. He thought caramel chips in place of the butterscotch would be a nice change up.

He also thought leaving out the chips all together and using dried cranberries would be good. They would be more like a breakfast cookie but no matter when you serve them they are a welcomed treat.
