Oatmeal Scotchie Cookies

I had some butterscotch flavored morsels left over from Christmas that had been hanging around in my freezer begging to be used.  I found this recipe on the Nestle website and decided to use it but alter it slightly by using one cup butterscotch and one cup milk chocolate morsels.  I baked for the shorter time period because I like a softer cookie.  They were popular at a card making workshop at Olivia's.  Hope you like them.
