"Cinnamon, the bark of a tree, is one of the oldest known spices. Arab traders brought it from China in 1700 B.C. Its sweet, warm flavor makes it the most important baking spice."

Just drawing this made my mouth water for Apple Crisp. Mmmm! I think I might try this recipe on Martha Stewart.

Oatmeal-Butterscotch Cookies

This weekend was full of making all sorts of wonderful things, including fresh baked cookies! I seriously love cookies. To be honest... no doubt about it... I'm a cookieaholic. A few minutes after that first batch has been out of the oven... I'm biting down on that warm, mouthwatering, gooey goodness. Can we say Heaven?

I thought I would share my recipe with you. Enjoy!

Oatmeal-Butterscotch Cookies (About 3 dozen)

2/3 cup granulated sugar 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup butter or stick margarine (softened) 1/2 cup shortening 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 3 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup butterscotch chips
