Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
