1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups old-fashioned oats, uncooked
12-ounce bag butterscotch morsels, about 2 cups

Heat oven to 375°.
Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl and stir to mix well.

In a large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add the dry mixture gradually, blending in thoroughly. Stir in oats and butterscotch morsels.

Spread dough in a jelly roll pan (10x15x1-inch). Bake until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool and cut in 2-inch squares. Makes about 3 dozen.

Variation: Add 1 cup of chopped nuts and/or 1 grated apple along with the oats for a good breakfast bar. For another variation, you may make a mixture of butterscotch, peanut butter, and/or chocolate morsels as long as the combined amount is still just 2 cups. Chocolate is good with either butterscotch or peanut butter, and a combination of all three is also very good.
