Oatmeal Butterscotch Pecan Cookies

Last updated on August 18, 2020 By Anna 4 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

Oatmeal Butterscotch Pecan Cookies are a variation on Monster Cookies. Unlike Monster Cookies, these have some flour. And instead of having candy and chocolate chips they are filled with nuts and butterscotch chips.

These are a medium thickness, have crispy edges with crunchy centers and loads of flavor from the butterscotch, brown sugar and cinnamon.

    Excellent cookies! I added coconut since I did not have enough butterscotch chips. I should also note I’m vegan so I swapped out earth balance sticks for the butter and flax for the eggs.

    Perfect cookie for this snowy morning!

    Thanks for the review, Carolyn! Adding pecans is a great way to curb the sweetness.

    The recipe was great and the cookies were delicious!!! However, they were a little too sweet and I wish I had added less butterscotch chips and more pecans!
