0 · Oct 29, 2012 · 14 Comments

And the pumpkin streak continues!

I promise after October November, I’ll branch out a little bit more…but for now, ’tis the season!

This is another one I owe in large part to my older sister as, just like with the pumpkin white chocolate chip cookies, she turned me onto this.

I of course, being me, needed to make tweaks here and there to make it slightly healthier, but overall the taste is just as incredible as the original.

    This looks sooooooooo good! I think butterscotch is totally under-valued. Then again, I have yet to find any all-natural butterscotch chips. Total bummer, but then again, they’re small enough to not really matter, right??? πŸ˜‰
