Ingredients
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, room temp.
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/4 cup of flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups of old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
- 2 medium Gala apples, peeled, cored and chopped small (1/4” cubes)
- 1–2 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F, rack in the middle.
- Lightly spray Whoopie Pie Pan . If you don’t have one, line a Cookie Sheet with parchment paper and very lightly spray it.
- In the bowl of a Stand Mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time mixing just until incorporated.
- Add in the vanilla and blend.
- In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- With the mixer on low add in flour mixture until blended.
- Add the oats and mix until just combined.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer, scrape off the paddle.
- Using a sturdy spoon or spatula, fold in the apples and 1 cup of the butterscotch chips.
- Place 1/4 cup into each whoopie pie cavity or on the cookie sheet, 2” apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack allowing the cookies to cool in the pan for a minute.
- Using a spatula, carefully remove the cookies from the pan and place on a cooling rack.
- While the cookies are cooling, place the remaining butterscotch chips and vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 15-20 second increments until smooth and creamy.
- Using either a piping bag, plastic baggie with the tip cut off or just a spoon, drizzle the butterscotch over top.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
