For an even richer flavor, consider browning the butter-flavored shortening before creaming it with the sugars. This adds a nutty depth to the cookies. To prevent the cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. If you prefer a more intense butterscotch flavor, use butterscotch baking bits instead of regular butterscotch chips. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Jun 30, 2025I added a pinch of nutmeg to the dough, and it enhanced the pumpkin flavor even more. Will definitely make these again!

Apr 25, 2025The batter was a little too wet. I added 1/4 cup flour and that seemed to help. The cookies are delicious.

Jan 24, 2025I followed the recipe exactly, and the cookies turned out so soft and delicious. They're definitely cakey, as described, but that's exactly what I was looking for.
