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.

Streusel Swirled Butterscotch Bundt Cake

No, these cookies aren't sandy thankyouverymuch but there's this monster hurricane AKA Frankenstorm heading right towards the east coast. Her name is Sandy. And I have to say, if we are gonna get hit by a monster storm that'll turn our lives upside down for a bit, I feel like she should have had a more dramatic name. Hortensia, for example. But either way, Sandy is headed here, and my prep involves charging my new iPhone (oh, did I forget to tell you guys that I finally got my iPhone 5? Yeah. It's awesome.), charging my new lap top, charging my camera batteries, my … [Read more...]
