Although I am not baker, I had a craving for something pumpkin and cookies seemed like the answer. These did not disappoint, for me or anyone that tried them. I was too lazy to trek to the basement freezer to pull out the whole wheat flour and used all all-purpose for the cookies. I also used traditional oats instead of quick-cooking oats. The end result is the perfect blend of cake-like cookie with the oats providing the right amount of texture and the butterscotch chips add just a bit of sweetness. These are so good that after sharing with my nephew and his family, I got a text the next morning telling me that they were awesome. :)
