Ingredients
For the cookie bars:
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 11 oz butterscotch morsel package
For the frosting:
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch kosher salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- For the bars, beat butter with sugars until blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and beat until combined. Fold in butterscotch morsels.
- Press cookie dough in a parchment paper lined 15 inch x 10 inch x 1 inch baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 18-22 minutes (I prefer to make these a little on the undercooked side, staying near the 18 minute mark).
- Cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat butter in an electric mixer with whisk attachment for 3-5 minutes until pale in color. Add cinnamon, salt, powdered sugar and 2Tbsp milk. Beat an additional 3-5 minutes, adding more milk if necessary. Spread over cooled cookie bars. Cut and enjoy.

Notes
- Want a thicker frosting? Add less milk. Want a thinner, more pourable frosting? Add more milk!
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They're so hard to resist that they're likely to get eaten well before then!
- I prefer these bars a little on the chewier side, so I take them out of the oven when they're still a little soft. For a crunchier bar, you can leave them in a bit longer.
