Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

So there's a big potluck at work tomorrow and I have been baking cookies like crazy all day! I baked two batches of chocolate chip cookies (recipe off the side of the Nestle toll house morsels package - still awesome after 50+ years) and two batches of oatmeal butterscotch (a favorite in this house). All in all about 20 dozen cookies. When I posted on facebook that I was doing this today a few friends messaged me and asked for the butterscotch cookie recipe. How can I not share? So if you want to try a really good cookie recipe that is just a little different, here you go! :)



Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

Ingredients:
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups butterscotch chips

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees.

In large bowl, beat the butter, white sugar and brown sugar together. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating well.

In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture; stir until blended. Stir in oats and butterscotch chips. Drop by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
