1. Cream butter, sugars and vanilla together in a standing mixer for 5 minutes. Add eggs and beat 2 minutes more.
2. Combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and oatmeal in a large bowl.
3. Add butter and sugar mixture to dry ingredients and sprinkle in butterscotch chips. Combine with clean hands.
