Pumpkin Butterscotch Cookie Sandwiches
Now that we are in November, the holiday season is fast approaching. There is no more denying it. Some stores are already decked up and ready to convince us to shop NOW. Pffft, I am waiting until December to get any holiday shopping started. However, I am never late with my holiday exchange cookies. I always start testing recipes a good month in advance before I decide on the final ones that will make the cut into the cookie boxes I ship to friends and family. These pumpkin butterscotch cookie sandwiches will be front runners.
I used a basic, yet great pumpkin spice cookie and added some butterscotch chips to them. So simple and amazing at the same time. Sandwiching the cookies with caramel frosting just takes them over the edge. I mean, two cookies are always better than one. ALWAYS!
I love butterscotch and I think it is undervalued in baking but it’s such a comforting fall flavor that it deserves to be a front runner in any holiday cookie exchange line up.
On that cookie exchange note, Better Homes and Gardens isย celebrating National Cookie Day on December 4thย by hosting theย World’s Largest Cookie Exchange!! They are sharing LOTS of holiday cookie ideas for your cookie exchange pleasure andย some super cute tags (pictured above) that you can download for freeย HERE!

I like to have my holiday shopping done by December — I’m not a fan of crowds! Pumpkin and butterscotch sounds like a match made in heaven. These I need to try!
Marcie I wish I was more organized!!
Hooray for butterscotch! These sandwich cookies are definitely winners. Love the flavor profile. Pumpkin, butterscotch, and caramel frosting sounds magical together!
Thanks Jen!
I love butterscotch too, but I must admit, it’s not my go-to ingredient in baking. You ‘ve changed my mind with these butterscotch cookies.
It needs to be your go-to soon. I always keep a bag of butterscotch chips in the pantry.
With caramel frosting these cookies are definite winners! Not some ordinary cookies ๐
Agreed!!
