Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

So I was inspired by Picky Palate this week.  I saw her yummy Peanut Butter Butterscotch Chippers and thought...Yes...I am making those! 

I went out that day and bought me a bag of these...

All day today, butterscotch cookies were on my mind.  As I sat in church, my stomach kept reminding me that I hadn't eaten yet.  And my mind kept thinking of these yummy cookies I was going to make when I got home.  Who needs lunch when you can have cookies?

When I did FINALLY arrive home, I got right to work.  I threw open my cabinets to begin my new cookie, and  sadly, my peanut butter supply was running WAY too low to use it on cookies.  ( I mean, I have a 5 year old...what if I had an emergency?)  So, I searched for something I could make.  I HAD to use my Butterscotch chips.  I just HAD to.   So I found these!  Enjoy!
