Oatmeal Scotchies

This is one of my favorite kinds of cookies. They are so good and one of those kinds that you can freeze easily and just pop in the microwave and have still be awesomely good (much like my mother-in-law's CCC's).

1 1/4 c flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1 c (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla (or grated orange peal)
3 c quick or old-fashioned oats
2 c (12 oz) butterscotch chips

Combine flour, soda, salt and cinnamon in small bowl. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in large mixer bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in flour mix. Stir in oats and morsels. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated 375 F oven for 7 to 8 mins for chewy cookies or 9 to 10 mins for crispy cookies. Let stand for 2 mins; removed to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
