Oatmeal Scotchies
I have some exciting news to share today with you guys!
This news is the reason why these Oatmeal Scotchies are making an appearance on the blog. I had this strange craving for butterscotch the other day which led me to these cookies. I like butterscotch but it has never been the first thing I think of putting in cookies. I am glad I had this craving though, because butterscotch + oatmeal cookies are a match made in heaven.
Back to that news…you probably guessed it considering I am talking about cravings and cookies. We are excited to announce that we are pregnant with our third baby. We are going to be a family of five in September! The past 14 weeks have been pretty rough I must admit between feeling so exhausted I can’t get off of the couch, to having strange cravings, to pretty much not wanting to eat any of the normal foods I eat. Aside from that normal pregnancy stuff I feel great and we are so blessed to be welcoming another child into the world.
Will {my 4 1/2 year old} is thrilled to have a baby brother or sister. He loves, loves babies and always has. Each day before he leaves for school he comes over to my belly and says “goodbye” to the baby. It is just the cutest thing! Drew {my 2 year old} on the other hand might need a little time to warm up to the idea. He still considers himself the baby and keeps wanting to be carried up the stairs, held and all of that good stuff. I think he knows what is going on and wants to hold on to that baby status as long as he can. 😉
The blog has been a little difficult to keep up with, especially when my cravings and appetite are so strange. Luckily I have been able to at least post a couple of times a week. Thanks for being patient with me and for forgiving any random recipes that seem a bit out of the ordinary. You really can’t tame those pregnancy cravings!
So back to those Oatmeal Scotchies that I just had to make. I am an oatmeal cookie lover. If given the choice between chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal cookies, I would pick oatmeal any day of the week {I know some of you are shaking your head!}. The butterscotch chips work great in these chewy oatmeal cookies and add just the right amount of sweetness. When creating this recipe I subbed some whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour but if you would prefer to stick with just all-purpose flour feel free.
I hope my pregnancy cravings benefit you guys and that you will give these cookies a try. They were a hit in my house so we will definitely be adding them to the cookie rotation!

My Mom made these, with coconut, all the time when I was a kid. They are my favorite cookie, but I've never tried with whole wheat flour. Thanks for the idea!
