Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a recipe I have been using since college.  It's quick and easy and tastes really good.  I did not get a photo taken because I forgot, and they just got eaten up too quickly.  My father-in-law was in town and loves sweets so I thought I would make some for him before he went back.  My family loved them and so did the Laurels that I teach.  Trust me, they taste great and are worth the try.  I added grated orange peel (my dad's secret ingredient).  It makes the taste of the cookie even better.  You can also use whole wheat flour in place of white flour.

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
Approx. 1 tbsp grated orange peel (optional-but so good)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a small mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt.  Set aside.  In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.  Add vanilla and egg.  Add approximately 1 tbsp grated orange peel.  Beat well.  Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture.  Mix well.  Stir in chocolate and butterscotch chips.  Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.  Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.  Remove cookies from oven, place cookies on cooling rack.
