Equipment

- Baking Sheets
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted, cooled
- 1 cup sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 each egg yolk at room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup pumpkin puree blotted with paper towels to remove most of the moisture
Add-ins
- 2 cups butterscotch chips divided
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, stir together oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In another large bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg yolk, vanilla, and pumpkin puree.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix - it leads to 'tough' cookies.
- Fold in 1 ½ cups butterscotch chips.
- Drop by heaping tablespoonful (golf ball-sized) onto parchment paper or silicone mat-lined baking sheets.
- Flatten slightly - cookies won't spread a whole lot.
- With the remaining ½ cup butterscotch chips, dot 3-4 chips on the top of each cookie.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes, or until edges are golden, and the centers appear almost 'set'.
- Remove from heat, and cool on cookies sheets for about 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure to blot the pumpkin puree to reduce moisture for better cookie consistency.
