Oatmeal Scotchies

This is a recipe that I have made quite often, and have always been pleased with them.  So much so, that they are one of my favorites! 

Oatmeal Scotchies

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or grated rind of 1 orange

3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats, uncooked

One 12-ounces package (2 cups) NESTLE TOLL HOUSE Butterscotch Flavored Morsels

Preheat oven to 375° F.  In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.  In large mixer bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla or orange rind until creamy.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Stir in oats and butterscotch morsels.  Drop by measuring tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake 7 to 8 minutes for chewier cookies; 9 to 10 minutes for crispier cookies.  Let stand on cookie sheets 2 minutes.  Remove; cool.  Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!
