My favorite cookie in the whole wide world are Oatmeal Scotchies. Um mm there is just something about those butterscotch chips that I just love. With pumpkin being in season, I have been trying to figure out new ways to incorporate pumpkin into different recipes. My youngest son loves pumpkin anyway you can bake it. His favorite is Pumpkin Patch Pancakes and Pumpkin Bread. Carson would eat them both everyday if I made them. I had a idea of adding pumpkin to my favorite cookie recipe just to see how it would turn out. How can you go wrong with pumpkin, cinnamon, oatmeal and butterscotch chips. It just seemed like the perfect fit.
My oldest son thought I was nuts adding it to this cookie dough. He told me that I was going to ruin the cookie recipe and it would end up tasting yucky. I told him to just give it a chance and see you never know. I started by adding 3/4 a cup and went from there. I added all the remaining ingredients and then tasted the cookie dough. It was really yummy and I think you can go as much as a cup of pumpkin. I did not add any additional amounts on the sugar. I just increased the vanilla a bit to 1 1/2 tsp instead of one teaspoon, but that is it I didn't change anything else. When the cookies were all baked up and cooled, I called in my pumpkin taste tester. Carson gave these cookies a thumbs up. I thought they tasted awesome the pumpkin and the butterscotch chips are the perfect combination.
mixing up the batter.
using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon drop the cookie batter to a un greased baking sheet. Press down the cookie dough a bit so they flatten out nicely or you will have cookie blobs.
Um mm milk and cookies, my favorite thing.
