The Oatmeal Cookie Shot is one of my top favorite dessert shot recipes that I have served at parties through the years. It’s fun, easy to make and tastes just like an oatmeal cookie (or maybe even better?). I highly recommend this recipe if you are looking for an easy to drink dessert shot for your next occasion. This shot is deceptively sweet and delicious, so much so that you might not even notice the taste of alcohol. As always- please be sure to always drink responsibly!
Ingredients in an Oatmeal Cookie Shot
To make the Oatmeal Cookie Shot, you will need the following ingredients:
- Butterscotch Schnapps: For that buttery taste that makes a perfect cookie shot. You can use any brand of Butterscotch Schnapps, but I highly recommend using a high-quality one to get the best flavor.
- Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur: Use the original flavor for this recipe. Bailey’s is a classic Irish cream liqueur that is rich, creamy, and has a smooth texture that complements the butterscotch perfectly.
- Cinnamon Schnapps: I used one called “Hot Damn!”. This ingredient makes it taste like a spiced cookie. You can also sub in Fireball if you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor.
Directions
To make the Oatmeal Cookie Shot, follow these simple steps:
- Gather all the needed ingredients. Butterscotch Schnapps, Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur and Cinnamon Schnapps. You will also need a shaker with ice and shot glasses. This recipe is for one shot, so double (or more) as needed.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the three liqueurs along with ice cubes and shake for fifteen seconds.
- Pour into shot glasses and serve immediately.
Tips for Making
If you want a shorter ingredients list, I have made this recipe using only Bailey’s and Butterscotch Schnapps. I like the addition of the cinnamon, but it’s not completely necessary. You can make a good shot with equal parts of just the two liqueurs. Some recipes recommend an optional splash of Jägermeister, so feel free to add that if you have it on hand.

If you don’t own a cocktail shaker, you can use a mason jar instead. Just be sure to shake it well and strain the mixture before pouring it into the shot glasses.
