My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me. She got it from a bed and breakfast she stayed in. These cookies are soft and chewy, a little butterscotchy with sweet powdered sugar gathered in the crinkles. Yum!

  • Hello, I would like to try this recipe. I’m uncertain about the amount of butter. I’m in Australia and a measuring cup here is 250grams, A block of butter here is 250 grams. ( 8 ounces I think) so do I use an 8 Oz block of butter?. I presume the amounts make a large batch. Thank you.

  • Hi,

    I tried these today and they came out really flat. What did I do wrong? They still tasted amazing but didn’t look like the photo. Any suggestions?

  • […] AMISH OATMEAL COOKIES:   Truly good oatmeal cookies are tough to find.  They are either too chewy/flavorless or too thick and flavorless…you want a good “oat-y” taste in them.   Commercially, SIGH, I think the best ones are Sobey’s store brand oatmeal cookies in Canada.  Wow, those are good.  They are a harder cookie, but the oatmeal taste is just incredible.   This recipe looks like a really good one says it has a hint of butterscotch flavor, which is good.  Click here for the recipe.

    • I haven’t tried that, but the oat pieces will be bigger and the texture not as good I don’t think. Quick oats are just chopped regular oats. You can make them in a blender if you’re careful to not chop them too much so you end up with an oat flour instead of quick oats.

  • These are AMAZING!!!! I will never use another oatmeal cookie recipe. I made them yesterday for my hubby’s birthday and they are gone…each and every one of them. Everyone wanted the recipe! They really are the best oatmeal cookies I have ever tasted. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, have a hint of brown sugar that blends with the oats and then the powdered sugar on top gives your mouth a sweet bit with each bite…amazing…pretty sure I gained 5 lbs yesterday. Be warned to watch out you cannot eat just one!! Thank you for posting it!!

  • These must be so yummy! Did you know that if cookies contain oatmeal, they are healthy? It’s true. You can eat as many as you wish.
