I love pumpkin! I use it all the time in the winter when I make pumpkin bread, and pumpkin pie and all those fabulous desserts. Today I decided to make pumpkin cookies… pumpkin butterscotch cookies to be exact! They are uber decadent and you have to try them!
Here is what you need:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup fat free vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together. Set aside. In a mixer combine the eggs and sugar and whisk for 3 minutes until it doubles in volume. Add the yogurt, pumpkin, and vanilla and blend until fully combined. Mix in the flour and then add the chocolate and butterscotch chips. Refrigerate dough for 2 hours.
Once chilled spoon 1/4 cup scoops of the dough onto the baking sheets. You can fit about 8 per sheet. Bake for 16 minutes until you can stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve!
Look at all those chips inside… delicious!
Happy Baking!

These look so moist and very decadent! I love the addition of butterscotch chips!
Those sure look fabulous. There's nothing like making a bunch of wonderful pumpkin treats in the fall. We're close enough at the end of summer here
Butterscotch too? Oh my!
Oh, wow. Love the addition of butterscotch!
I am SO excited to start baking with pumpkin. It's one of the reasons I love fall so much!!
mmmmm pumpkin! I'm so glad its available all year round- I buy it pretty much every week to mix into yogurt! This recipe sounds and looks amazing. I bet the cookies are super fluffy
I can't wait to try these. The perfect fall cookie!
These look fabulous and have now been placed on the attempt to recreate list.
Gee, Gaby, what a great flavor combination!
Great idea! I never thought to put pumpkin and butterscotch together. They look terrific.
Wow, this sounds amazing. Its an unusual combination, but i can imagine that it tastes absolutely fabulous!
The cookies look fabulous and I'll wager the pumpkin will keep them fresher longer – that's if they don't disappear before the day is out.
Yogurt and pumpkin – I'm sure they are extra moist and delicious!
Those look delicious… they're going right on the to-make list!
oh yum. I am obsessed with all things pumpkin!
