Simple Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

I like to make cookies. I like to think up creative cookies, like my Peanut Butter Pretzel M&M Cookies, but sometimes I just want a good old classic cookie. Like oatmeal (Never oatmeal raisin. Raisins are one thing I refuse to bake with.) Oatmeal cookies are delicious. And they sort of make you feel better about eating so many because they are oatmeal - that's healthy right?! I also adore butterscotch as you have probably noticed with the recipes for my Butterscotch Fudge and Seven Layer Bar Pie. So I decided to put the two together!

These two make an excellent flavor combination. I can't get enough! The oatmeal cuts down on the richness of the butterscotch chips. These are great yet simple cookies.
