Pumpkin Oatmeal Scotchies

I go pumpkin crazy every fall. I can’t help myself. There are so many fantastic pumpkin recipes to fit in. My new favorite pumpkin cookies are Pumpkin Oatmeal Scotchies.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Scotchies

These pumpkin cookies are moist, loaded with spices, oats, and butterscotch chips. If you haven’t experienced pumpkin and butterscotch together-you are in for a real treat. They are a match made in heaven! These pumpkin oatmeal scotchies are the perfect fall cookie. Make a batch today!

If you share my pumpkin obsession, here are a few more pumpkin recipes you might enjoy:

  1. Why do you feature a nice recipe and if the unsuspecting person prints it you get ten pages of wasted ink and paper?

  2. I just made these, and they were very popular. I cut down the sugar, to a little less than 1 c. total, and I used cinnamon chips instead of butterscotch chips. Very yummy! :)

  3. Hi! How are you? Let me introduce myself. My name is Nicole and I live in Roslyn, NY with my husband and two young kids. I just recently launched a recipe blog called http://www.nibblesbynic.com.
    In a nutshell I have created a fun spin on recipes for the everyday mom. My goal is not to over-complicate the food, but to simplify it in a homemade, yet youthful fashion using seasonal tasty ingredients. Most importantly, my mantra is to cook in healthful way (incorporating the occasional treat of course :-) without EVER sacrificing taste and enjoying every last nibble!!
    I would love to create a buzz for my blog so I can build up more traffic. Thank you so much and I look forward to the possibility of building a relationship.

  4. Just what I’ve been looking for. I love oatmeal cookies, and this recipe sounds delicious. I might skip the butterscotch chips to keep them healthier, but then again… :) It’s pumpkin season here and I’m going to give this recipe a try.

  5. I bookmarked these long ago and finally made them today (I needed to use up some of my canned pumpkin hoard) – delicious! I used half butterscotch chips, half cinnamon chips because that’s what I had on hand. Loved the flavor combination!

  6. I just made these this morning. I didnt’ have pumpkin, so I used sweet potatoes instead. They taste really good!— but I am still curious what the pumpkin would taste like.

  7. I made these last night and my oh my are they tasty! I cut down on the sugars just a tad since butterscotch chips are super sweet for me. They are moist and delicious little things!

  8. I made those last year as well. Oatmeal schotchies are my favorite cookies and putting a pumpkin twist on them was so good.

  9. Yum! I always go the cinnamon-nutmeg-ginger route with pumpkin, and this is such a delicious-sounding change of pace.

  10. Wow, these look SO yummy! I can’t wait to try them. Scotchies are a favorite of mine, and I’m a big pumpkin fan too. Never thought about putting the two together, though! :-)
