Scotchilla Cookies

     Well, I don't know what is wrong with me. I wanted cookies again today. I tried feebly to resist, but broke down and made some. I had half a bag each of butterscotch chips and vanilla chips from previous cookie making experiences  (see here and here), so I just combined them and made a new twist on a basic cookie...I call it "The Scotchilla"--just to sound dramatic. If I could only change the font to Chiller or something!
     Anyway, enough of me being weird for now. These were amazing! Plus, the oatmeal and flax seed makes them healthy...or at least healthier, right?
     I put some on a cookie sheet in the freezer. I will add them to a freezer bag when they are frozen, so I can make them another time when I have a craving.
