Butterscotch and Vanilla Oatmeal Cookies

Hi Everyone.  It's time for this month's Secret Recipe Club, where each month, a group of bloggers are assigned a blog, and we get to choose a recipe from that blog to feature on our own blogs, then we all reveal our assigned blogs on the same day.   

This month I was assigned the blog:  Secrets Of The Cookie Princess by Colleen.  With a blog name like that, I had to choose one of Colleen's tempting cookie recipes for this month's reveal, but choosing which one wasn't so easy.   I ending up choosing Scotchilla Cookies.  What can I say, I have a soft pot in my heart for oatmeal cookies, and frankly, the recipe name won me over. These cookies were delicious, and just what my sweet tooth needed.
