Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Soft, chewy and full of warm spices, these Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies are the perfect twist to a classic cookie!
Ingredients
- 7 ounces unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup pumpkin purée
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, oats, spices, salt and baking soda. Whisk until combined.
- In the bowl of a mixer begin beating the butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time and mix until combined. Now mix in the vanilla and pumpkin purée.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix just until combined.
- Using a 1-ounce scoop or 2 heaping tablespoons, drop the cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Then roll each cookie in the powdered sugar to coat. Place back on the baking sheet and bake for 12-13 minutes.
- Cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Spices - 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.
