McCAIN'S OATMEAL BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated 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
1 2/3 cups butterscotch chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

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

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, stirring until blended. Stir in the oats and the butterscotch chips.

Drop the batter 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 completely.

Yield: 5 to 6 dozen cookies
