Over the weekend, I went to make my No-Bake Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookie recipe only to discover that my husband had raided the butterscotch morsels and there wasn't enough to make the recipe. Then I remembered how much I loved the flavor combination of chocolate and butterscotch and decided to make a new variation of no-bake cookies!
