Oatmeal Scotchies turn into an irresistible treat by adding peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, and coconut! So good! For something a little more plain yet still so good, here is my Oatmeal Cookie Recipe.
Oatmeal Scotchies | With Coconut Shreds + Peanut Butter Chips
OHH EMM GEE, guys!! These Oatmeal Scotchies are crazy amazing! Chewy, sweet and filled to the brim with coconut, oats, butterscotch and peanut butter chips! Holy pimped out cookies Batman!
This was the batch I made over my crazy stressful weekend just a few days back. When I was making these I happened to add in peanut butter chips….and some oats….and an almost empty bag of butterscotch chips…..and an almost empty bag of coconut. CLEARLY, I was just cleaning out my cupboards for the greater good.
ANYWAYS–we love love loved these and if you’re stressed too, feel free to make a batch! You’re welcome 🙂 Oh, and this recipe only makes 1 dozen, so you don’t have to feel bad for eating…..like 10.

Main Ingredients Needed
These Oatmeal Scotchies are not your Grandma’s recipe… I’ve added coconut shreds and peanut butter chips to the mix which makes things extra amazing. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Butter – or margarine. This provides moisture and flavor!
- Granulated + Brown Sugar – both are used to sweeten but brown sugar is especially useful in keeping cookies soft.
- Egg – for structure and texture.
- Vanilla + Salt – both are used for flavor.
- Flour – to fill out the cookies.
- Baking Soda – the leavening agent.
- Oats – I used rolled oats! Such good texture.
- Shredded Coconut – good texture and flavor!
- Peanut Butter + Butterscotch Chips – I used both peanut butter and butterscotch chips for these oatmeal scotchies! So good!

HOW MANY EGGS DO YOU PUT IN THIS RECIPE
My only complaint is how few cookies this recipe makes! Next time – I’m quadrupling it! 🙂
Does it matter if it’s margarine or butter?
I just made these, but had no PB chips. Used some white chips & a few semi-sweet choc chips in it. Doubled the recipe (I have a 17yr old & hubby in the house). They are FABulous! I’ll have to get some PB chips & try them in it. You can feel free to change up the add-ins, & have good results, as well. Yummy!
Perfect recipe for those of us who do not like to share!
OMG! I wish there was a like button for this comment!
HOLY PIMPED OUT COOKIES IS RIGHT.
Love that these cookies are filled with ingredients that I always have on hand! Yum!
Thanks so much for this recipe. I had to quadruple it to feed my family of five. Everyone LOVED them. They were so addicting and were gone in a flash. A few days later we were all having withdrawal symptoms, so I made another batch. Now only a week later, I’m getting ready to make some more of these super delicious cookies, and I thought I’d let you know how much all of us like your recipe. I’ll have made three batches of cookies in the last two weeks, which is more cookies than I have made in the past two years!
Oh, I forgot to say, that since we’ve become cookie-aholics, I’ve decided to make these a teeny-bit healthier by substituting applesauce for half of the butter. It makes a little softer of a cookie, but they are still delicious. I just ate one from the first pan out of the oven. YUM!
Well, what a compliment!! Glad all FIVE of you like them!!
These look amazing! All though I may need to double the recipe to feed all my hungry dorm friends. Us college students eat lots! Haha. They really do look so yummy and buttery and delicious.
These look dangerously amazing and addicting! All of my favorite ingredients!
Holy Cookies do those look amazing! Butterscotch and peanut butter? Yes please, 10 sounds about right!
I have made a similar cookie, but yours is bumped up with the peanut butter chips and coconut. My Little Chefs are going to love this recipe when they come home from school. They will probably want to make it…since they are cooking this year!
These look sooo good! I can’t wait to try them on my own!
Wow. Honestly wow is all I have to say! These cookies are perfect! Butterscotch chips? Sadly I’ve never seen these before! Yum!
mmm. the photos alone make me hungryhungryhungry.
xo
yum!!! I finally got a Silpat and have been waiting to break it out…can’t wait to try these!
peanut butter rules my world! LOVE
Peanut butter makes the world a better place – – add in some oatmeal, butterscotch chips and coconut and you have one AMAZING cookie!!
All the best ingredients all rolled into one cookie!!!! I notice you use a silpat … I don’t have one, but have always been interested. Does it just keep the cookies from sticking?
wow, I think I have to bake these asap! That glass of milk looks delicious too:)
These look PERFECT!
One of my pet hates is cookies that are really stingy with the add ins – one or two chocolate chips per cookie? Not going to work for me! These look so good!
Pour me a tall glass of milk and a handful of these cookies, delicious!
you had me at the title of these! so many of my favorites!!
OMG is right! I loveeeeeeee love love you for making these. I was totally looking for the butter to see how much fat these would require. Not bad, 4 tbsp. YAY! I’m so baking these, your’e the best. Do you come up with all your recipes? Awesome!!! Bookmarked.
Yes, all my recipes are original unless otherwise stated!
Oh yum, these look awesome! Love all the fun stuff jammed in.
I love EVERYTHING about this recipe
The oats, chewy, butterscotch chips!!, the fact that it doesnt make 3 dozen, PB chips were used (in honor of Natl Pb Day that was Wednesday)…
You outdid yourself. I’m going to make these!
The cookies look perfect! Love everything about this recipe!
I just made a ton of cookies yesterday, but now I feel like getting back into the kitchen to make some more!!
I would just like to say that crazystressedout cookies are the bessssst cookies. Not that I’m advocating comfort baking or anything. Why would you ever think I’d do a thing like that? Psh.
Oh, P.S. — YUM.
Ohhh myy Goodness!!! I can’t wait to try these!! Btw, I love love your blog!! I love the recipes and hearing about your real life, you are like a dear friend I haven’t met! 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to post all that you do! You are such a encouragement to this new mom! 🙂
Looks like a fabulous cookie. I probably would have eaten them all too.
Love this combo! And you’d be crazy NOT to eat 10 of these 🙂
these look soft and chewy and packed full of flavor! it only makes a dozen?? well, that’s great cause all 11 for me 🙂 haha jk
They look delicious! And, the reading this first thing on a Wednesday morning when I really wish it was a Friday morning was just what I needed. 🙂 Happy Wednesday!
I love peanut butter and butterscotch together. This is a winner for me!
