Chewy Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

Ingredients

1 Cup of Butter (softened)
1 Cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar
1 Cup White Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Cups Flour
3 Cups of Cooking Oats ( I grind mine to a fine mix in my grinder instead of whole oats but its good either way)
1 bag Butterscotch Chips (you can add raisins, chocolate Chips, or even toffee bites)

Cream Butter and both sugars together in a mixer until smooth.  Add one egg at a time beating completely in between then add vanilla and stir. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, & baking soda.  Stir with spoon then gradually beat in to cream mixture until well blended.   Fold in Oats & Butterscotch chips.  Cover & let sit in fridge for 30 minutes - an hour before baking.  Its also ok to let the dough sit over night in fridge and bake the next day. 

Roll and flatten in a nice round shape on your baking sheet.  (these cookies do not expand much so you will want to shape them otherwise they will turn out small and round. Still good but not as big)

Bake on 375 for 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheet onto cooling rack and then try to wait until they cool so you don't burn your tongue lol:) I always have to have a warm one so I love to eat them as soon as I place them on my cooling rack.
