Maple Bacon Ginger Oatmeal Scotchies
Oatmeal Scotchies get a sweet and spicy twist by using maple syrup instead of sugar, crisp bacon, and crystallized ginger nibs. Oatmeal and butterscotch never tasted so good!
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick or old fashioned oats
- 12 ounce package butterscotch baking chips
- 1/2 cup crystallized ginger chips
- 1/2 cup bacon bits, crisply fried
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Beat butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth.
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
- Stir in the oats, morsels, ginger chips, and bacon.
- Drop rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets and bake 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
I suggest actually leaving these cookies out. They lost their crispiness when stored in a zip lock bag and cookie jar.
