• beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. beat the first egg into the butter mixture until completely blended; beat the vanilla into the mixture with the last egg.
• whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a separate bowl. beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture about 1/2 cup at a time. fold the rolled oats and butterscotch chips into the resulting dough. if the dough isn't firm enough, mix in more rolled oats, about 1/4 cup at a time, until dough is of desired consistency.
• refrigerate the dough for 1 to 2 hours before baking.
• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• scoop up dough by heaping tablespoonful and roll into balls. place cookies about 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
• bake in the preheated oven until very lightly browned and cookies are set in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. allow cookies to cool for about 5 minutes before removing from baking sheets to finish cooling on wire rack.
