  • ½ teaspoons Almond Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Love these. I’m so glad I came to Tasty Kitchen to find an Oatmeal Scothie recipe (instead of a generic recipe site), this recipe proved why I use TK so much. The addition of almond extract was a change from the usual scotchie recipe I’ve used, and I LOVE it! Also, the kosher salt made a noticeable difference as well. I’m so glad I found this recipe, but as Ree says often, it’ll definitely add to my jiggle, ha!

I made these today and they are Wonderful! I changed the recipe to one stick of butter and one stick of margarine because I was almost out of butter, and substituted sea salt for the kosher salt. The edges were crispy and delicous… the centers soft and chewy. The faint hint of cinnamon and sea salt are a perfect compliment to the butterscotch. This recipe is going in my keeper file, and I’ll be making them again closer to Halloween. Great cookie!

I made these today and tripled the recipe. Im glad I did because they are delicious! I cant stop eating them! The almond extract is wonderful in these. I must be a little conservative on the tablespoons because I ended up with about 11 dozen cookies instead of the 8 or so the recipe states. Great recipe!

Loved this variation on a favorite of mine growing up. Almond extract makes everything better, and I always seem to forget about that! Thanks for the great addition to my recipe box!
