I am not sure how many people like butterscotch chips out there. I get the feeling that a lot of people feel butterscotch is a flavor that old(er) people like.

So let’s see…if you like butterscotch chips, raise your hand…(I do! I do!)  Well, if you are a fan, then these are the cookies for you. Even if you are not a fan, there is a mix of half milk chocolate to half butterscotch chips, so you should still try one. I love chewy, tender oatmeal cookies anyway, but I loved the addition of the butterscotch/milk-chocolate chips.

By the way, this recipe is handed down from my mother, which was typed up on a recipe card from a type-writer! That tells you how old this recipe is! Haha! But that must mean it is good right, if it’s made it this many years into the future? Just kidding Mom! I just adjusted it a tad, for elevation reasons.
