Chewy Milk Chocolate-Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies

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.
