cocoa powder

🥗Healthier: carob powder

💰Cheaper: unsweetened chocolate

Carob powder is caffeine-free and adds a different flavor.

Add 1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup of milk to a large pot.

Add 2 cups of sugar and a pinch of salt to the pot.

Stir the mixture and let it cook until the butter melts and it comes to a boil.

Once it starts bubbling around the edges, set a timer for 3 minutes and stir periodically.

After 3 minutes, turn off the heat and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 cup of butterscotch chips, stirring until the chips melt.

Add 3 cups of oats to the mixture and stir well.

Immediately drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper on the counter.

Top each cookie with a few butterscotch chips for decoration.

Let the cookies dry for 10-15 minutes until they can be easily peeled off the parchment paper.

Transfer the cookies to a platter.
