Ingredients

¾ cup butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar

Instructions

For the Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 oF. Line baking sheet with silicone baking mat.
In large bowl, beat the butter until smooth and almost fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugars and continue beating mixture about 4-5 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth again.
In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt and oats. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. Fold in butterscotch chips.
Drop by tablespoonful onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes.
Remove from the oven before the cookies are browned and when they still look soft in the center. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, allowing them to finish baking without overcooking.
When the cookies are firm enough to handle, transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
