Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and eggs until fluffy. In another bowl, sift flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Blend 2 mixtures until well combined. Stir in rolled oats, semi-sweet chocolate bits and butterscotch bits. In another small bowl, place chopped nuts. Shape a rounded teaspoon of dough (it will be moist) into a ball, roll it in nuts, and place on ungreased cookie sheet, allowing 2 inches between cookies for spreading. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.
