If you like regular oatmeal scotchies, you will love the pumpkin version. I personally think they are much better:) Pumpkin and butterscotch are the perfect combination for this fall cookie. Pumpkin Oatmeal Scotchies are a MUST make for fall.
These chewy and soft oatmeal cookies are a fall favorite. Add them to your pumpkin baking list today! I am sure you will bake them over and over. They are on repeat at our house during the fall months. And FYI-they freeze well and taste just as good right out of the freezer:)
Happy pumpkin baking!

Delicious sounding cookies, I love anything with pumpkin in it. Aprons are cute – I would totally wear one but my room mates might think I’ve started cross dressing!
Oatmeal based cookies are the best. I have my thoughts spinning on some apple butter caramel chip ones that I’m going to try making today. I like the idea of adding pumpkin too. I bet they’re super moist
My stepmother LOVES oatmeal scotchies, so I think I’ll make these to take to her when I see my dad and her next month. They sound delicious!
What a genius match up! Would never have thought of pumpkin and oatmeal scotchies!

Lovely cookies! Pumpkin and butterscotch go so well together. I just made a pumpkin butterscotch bread pudding…love that combo!
I love oatmeal scotchies so, like you said, I know I’d like these pumpkin scotchies even more.
What a good idea! I love the addition of pumpkin. Makes these scotchies even better.
I made these over the weekend, and they turned out pretty well. Everyone who tried them seemed quite pleased. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
These scotchies look so good! Great idea to use pumpkin in them.
These look yummy!
I have been making your baked oatmeal recipe lately. It is delicious!!! I was wondering if you have ever used pumpkin instead of the applesauce and pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon? I might try that this weekend. I love everything pumpkin and am enjoying seeing all your pumpkin creations!
Ok, I just printed like 25 recipes from your blog!!!! I have added it to the blog list on my blog, so I can see when you add new recipes! I am always looking for new ideas…thank you!
These look so INSANELY good. I am going to have to make these for this weekend to help quench my terrible pumpkin addiction! Thanks for sharing such a yummy looking recipe 🙂
Good gracious, those cookies look heavenly! 🙂 I look forward to testing out this recipe. Thanks for the post!
These look delish! Will the can say pumpkin puree on it? All I could see was 100% pure pumpkin, is this what you use?
I love Pumpkin Oatmeal! Plus Cookies! YUM!
These are great! My husband LOVES them! I cut both sugars back to 1/2 cup each and they still tasted delish!
Does anyone know if pumpkin spice and pumpkin pie spice are the same? I don’t think I’ve ever seen pumpkin spice before… Thanks!
Yes, it’s the same!
These are delicious! I wonder if quick oats would work as well? The old fashioned oats are definitely chewy and thicker but just wondered if quick oats could be substituted too.
They are really yummy! I only used 1/2 C of each of the sugars. I would only use 1 C of the chips next time as I felt they were a little overwhelming. Mine aren’t as pretty as the picture you have posted here. I live at a high altitude so that might be why they didn’t spread much as they baked. It may have also been because I didn’t use all of the sugar. Thanks! I will definitely make them again. Yum!
What size can?
Very good. Â I used cinnamon chips and added walnuts, baked the full 12 minutes. Â They don’t spread so I flattened them out too. Â
A fall go-to. So delicious
Yay! Glad you like the cookies too!
The thing I do not understand is pumpkin purée is pumpkin is what is used to make pumpkin pie. I bake pumpkins and make mine from scratch since most pumpkin pie filling is mostly squash. Just get a pumpkin cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, bake until tender and process. It usually takes about an hour. The left over can be frozen up to one year. I do it every year without fail.
I am a huge oatmeal scotchie fan and I love pumpkin so this recipe got me good!
However, the cookies not only didn’t spread, they also remain much more moist in the middle. Definitely not what I was expecting and the flavor was not as strong either. I followed the recipe as is.
I love the idea, but it just didn’t turn out for us.
