Pumpkin Spice Blondie Cookie Bars are from a recipe straight off the back of a bag of Nestle Toll House Pumpkin Spice Flavored Morsels.
Nestle Toll House Pumpkin Spice Morsels
For those of you who do not have access to pumpkin flavored baking morsels, don’t worry because you can make the bars with any type of baking chips. But for those of you who delight in trying interesting seasonal flavored baking chips, the pumpkin spice flavored morsels can usually be found during the fall at Target.
I’m okay with pumpkin spice, but what I love about this recipe is the bar cookie base! It’s neither too dry nor too sweet. Also, the recipe calls for a 15×10 inch pan. This gives you a slightly larger yield and thinner, cookie-like bars.
Pumpkin Spice Blondie Reviews
The Pumpkin Spice Blondie reviews on Very Best Baking are a mixed bag, with a few people citing what seems to be an excess of baking powder. I used the full 2 1/2 teaspoons of Rumford brand, which to me tastes less salty and metallic than some others. I’ll definitely make these again, but probably with white chips and macadamia nuts.

I love blondes and the idea of making these with different chips sounds super appealing. Glad to know it’s a good base!
I have the chocolate chip cookie dough from the previous post in the fridge. I’m trying to be patient during the refrigeration period.
