Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies
1 c. (2 sticks) butter
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1-1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. uncooked oats
1 c. butterscotch morsels*
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the sugar mixture and continue to mix until well blended. Stir in oats and butterscotch morsels.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 1 minute. Remove to a wire rack to finish cooling. Makes four dozen cookies.
* raisins or cranberries may be used instead of butterscotch morsels. (But why?)
