Oatmeal Scotchies

Here is the last recipe post for the day. These are my regular oatmeal cookies to which I added a bag of butterscotch chips. I know that it isn't really rocket science, but they turned out so good that they might be my new favorite cookie.

Oatmeal Scotchies

1 cup sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup shortening

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups old-fashioned oats

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 bag butterscotch baking chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the sugars and shortening together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; stir. Stir in the oats. Add the flour, salt and baking soda and mix well again. Fold in the butterscotch chips and stir to combine. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks and cool.

This makes a LOT of cookies, probably 5 dozen or so, but they are really good and freeze well after they are baked. Perfect for lunches!
