Be sure to stock up on all your holiday baking essentials such as NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, NESTLÉ® BUNCHA CRUNCH® Baking Bits, NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk, and Libby’s® 100% Pure Pumpkin at Walmart!
Having these items on hand means that I can #BakeHolidayGoodness for my family anytime. I love baking with my kids, and finding ways to make favorites a little healthier. These Pumpkin Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies use less granulated and brown sugars than traditional chocolate chip cookies. By adding wheat germ and Libby’s Pure Pumpkin, they’ve also got some healthier ingredients. I always have Libby’s Pure Pumpkin on hand for my son Ethan’s favorite pumpkin bread because it contains no preservatives. This recipe really is a win/win for my kids, and for me!
These Pumpkin Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, pillowy cookies with the distinct flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon, but with a twist. When you bite into them, you get the delicious flavors of the Libby’s Pumpkin with the Nestle Butterscotch Morsels and the distinct crunch from the Nestle Buncha Brunch Baking Bits. Scroll down for my recipe, and visit the #BakeHolidayGoodness “Flavorful Moments” Pinterest Board for more recipe ideas.
These cookies can be made with just Nestle’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, but I just love the butterscotch and pumpkin flavors together. If you haven’t had a chance to try the Nestle Buncha Cruncha Baking Bits, you have to pick some up at Walmart right away. I’m seriously in love with those baking bits, I can’t wait to try them in a granola bar recipe! They add such a nice flavor and texture.
