Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Cookies

Yea, you heard me.

Oatmeal. Chocolate. Butterscotch. Cookies.

I needed to bake tonight. I REALLY needed to bake. Does that ever happen to you?

Well, I am out of granulated sugar and I only had about a cup of chocolate chips and a cup of butterscotch chips...so I asked myself..."what can I do with these?" and BAM. Inspiration.


The original recipe calls for granulated sugar but I just substituted brown and they taste great!
