Pumpkin Butterscotch Cookies

October 17, 2013 by overtimecook 22 Comments

pumpkin butterscotch cookies on overtime cook

I wish I had a great story to share with you about these cookies, but sadly, I don’t. It was a minute of inspiration, caused by the can of pumpkin sitting on my pantry shelf.

I wanted to make pumpkin cookies, but most of the recipes I found were more to the cakey side. I wanted cookies with a chocolate chip cookie type texture, and struck gold with this recipe. Then, I couldn’t help throwing in some butterscotch chips, y’know, for some more awesomeness. The pumpkin flavor of these cookies is subtle, but it’s definitely there. Add the cinnamon and butterscotch and you have the perfect fall cookie.

Don’t have butterscotch chips handy? Sub chocolate chips instead for a delicious pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe. Either way, make these cookies. You’re going to love them!

    I made butterscotch cookies once (sans pumpkin) and my son-in-law was crazy about them. I would think that with the added pumpkin and spices these are even more delicious.

    Yum! I think I’ll skip the chips, though – both kinds.

    They look wonderful! Do you think they would also work out with roasted and pureed fresh pumpkin? I’m always on the look out for something to do with the insides of the pumpkins I use to make jack-o-lanterns at Hallowe’en 🙂

      Sure! Should be fine as long as the texture is basically the same.

    Looks wonderful! I am not even sure how pumpkin tastes like since they are not so popular in my food culture, but I’d love to try some recipes since everyone is posting about them at the moment. 🙂

    Mmmm…pumpkin and butterscotch sound perfect together. Plus I’m glad you created a non-cakey cookie. Cakey’s the worst, lol.

    The woman behind me in the grocery store checkout yesterday told me about these cookies. If I had more time, I would have gone right back into the store to buy the ingredients. I can’t wait to try them. Could they be made as cookie bars?
