Oatmeal Scotchies

One of my all time favorites! I suggest this dough be used as soon as it's made. I tried making it ahead and chilling and the cookies spread way too much.

1 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups oats, uncooked (quick or old fashioned)
1 12 oz. pkg (2 cups) butterscotch morsels

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.  Beat until creamy.  Gradually add flour mixture. Stir in oats and butterscotch morsels.  Drop by level tablespoons onto ungreased cooked sheets. Bake at 375 for 7 - 8 minutes for chewier cookies, 9 - 10 for crisper cookies.  Makes 4 dozen 3" cookies.

For Oatmeal Scotchie Pan Cookie: Spread dough into greased 15 x 10 x 1" baking pan. Bake 375 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. Cool completely. Cut into 35 2" squares.
