What do you get when you combine rolled oats, chocolate and butterscotch chips, and coffee granules? A moist, far-from-boring, oatmeal cookie!

There is nothing like a chewy oatmeal cookie. Not too sweet, not too hard, a good oatmeal cookie can be served equally well as a snack or breakfast!

But sadly, oatmeal cookies are often turned into overly dry, boring cookies – full of hard raisins and perhaps a few nuts.

But today; on Day FOUR of 12 Days of Baking Challenge, we have cookie that is soft with complex flavor. Use any combination of chocolate and butterscotch chips. Don’t be tempted to leave out the coffee granules. They enhance the butterscotch flavor. The cookies are a bit delicate, but will no doubt be gobbled up quickly.

12 Days of Baking Challenge

I may have bitten off more than I can chew – or bake – but please join me; for one day, three days, or all 12 days! We are baking something different each day between now and December 24^th. It can be anything you want; sweet or savoy. You can try today’s recipe, or something else. Get more details here.

Please send along a picture of your creation, along with a link to the recipe if you like, and I will post as many photos as I can. Or, post your own on Instagram with the hashtag #STPbakingchallenge. Happy baking!
