Instructions
Add ½ cup butter, 2 cups sugar, and ½ cup milk to your saucepan. Heat over medium-high until it reaches a good, solid rolling boil.
Remove from heat after one full minute at a rolling boil.
Add the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract then the 1 cup butterscotch chips. Stir until melted.
Stir the 3 cups quick oats oatmeal into the candied sauce mixture.
Make sure that the oats are thoroughly coated with the butterscotch sauce.
Portion out the no-bake cookies in heaping tablespoon amounts onto a prepared work surface or parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Allow the cookies to cool and set for 15-30 minutes.
Notes
***Use only Quick Oats, do not use old fashioned or instant oatmeal for this recipe or it will not set correctly. Old fashioned oats and steel-cut oats do not absorb the coating as well and will end up being undesirably chewy. Instant oatmeal absorbs too much of the coating and can result in mushy cookies.
