I’m not a huge fan of traditional no-bake cookies but a friend made these once, and I was hooked. The butterscotch flavor is subtle, and the add-ins really shine to make a cookie that is irresistible. If you’ve got a recipe that calls for a little evaporated milk, you can justify making these cookies because you don’t want to waste the can! They’re cutting back on food waste one glorious cookie at a time.
The oats give a hearty bite, and because they’re oats, they have fiber, so this is kind of like a health food? Okay, maybe not…a lady can try. I like this recipe because there are more oats than glop. That’s a culinary term, right? While the glop is delicious, it can be overwhelmingly sweet but if you prefer more glop, just reduce the oats by 1/2 cup. I’ll stop saying glop now.
Glop.
If you’ve got a cookie swap or potluck coming up, they are just classic enough with a twist to be a favorite so have the recipe handy because people will be asking for it. You may be wondering if you can freeze them and because I have your back, I froze two for research purposes then thawed them on the counter a week later. I am happy to report they are just as delicious so definitely include this in your make ahead list!

I love no-bake cookies!!!
So then I was reading the recipe and thought it might be too much butterscotch for me THEN I saw the addition of the chocolate chips and realized we really are blog soul mates.
Chocolate ain’t gettin’ outta this no-bake party! I’m about to bust a batch out of the freezer!
These sound like a great version of the chocolate no-bake cookies that I grew up with. Pinned.
They don’t last long around here, that’s for sure!
