Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, oats, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
In large bowl with electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and pumpkin, beat until smooth. Stir in flour mixture just until combine. Fold in pecans and butterscotch chips.
This is where it gets wacky. Put small cookies scoopfuls of batter on cookie sheet. Press one piece of Hershey’s milk chocolate bar on each small scoop until batter is flattened under whole piece of chocolate. Place one medium cookie scoopful of batter on top of each milk chocolate piece. With bottom of a glass that has been dipped in sugar, flatten medium scoop of batter over chocolate piece until covered. Bake for 12-13 minutes.
