1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla or grated peel of 1 orange
3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
1 2/3 cup (11 oz. pkg.) butterscotch chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla or orange peel in a large mixer bowl. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and chips. Drop by rounded Tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes for chewy cookies or 9 to 10 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes and then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
