Oatmeal Scotchies

1 ¼ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
1 cup softened butter
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla or grated peel of orange
3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
1 2/3 cups (11 oz) butterscotch morsels

Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in small bowl.  Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in large mixer bowl.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Stir in oats and morsels.  Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.  Bake at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes for chewy cookies, 9-10 minutes for crisp cookies.  Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.  Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
