If you're anything like me, you can never have too many pumpkin recipes in your back pocket. From pumpkin bars to pumpkin spice cookies and now these oatmeal cookies, I love anything pumpkin. Even my husband, who usually steers clear of pumpkin desserts, couldn't resist these!
Key Ingredients & Variations
- Oats - Old fashioned oats work best in this recipe.
- Pumpkin Purée - Canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling. If you are working with homemade pumpkin purée, you may need to squeeze out the excess moisture.
- Spices - I use a combination of cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg in this pumpkin oatmeal cookie recipe. You can also substitute with your favorite pumpkin spice blend.
- Variations - These cookies are delicious with raisins, chopped pecans, semi-sweet chocolate chips or cream cheese baking chips stirred in.
How To Make Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies come together in just a few simple steps. Let's walk through it!
STEP 1
Start by whisking together all of the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
STEP 2
Now grab your mixer and beat the butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Next add in the eggs, one at a time. Mix well. Then stir in the vanilla and pumpkin purée.
STEP 3
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and mix until everything comes together.
STEP 4
Use a 1-ounce scoop (or 2 rounded tablespoons) to portion the dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar and place them back on the baking sheet. Gently press them down so they flatten just a little.
STEP 5
Bake for 12-13 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
