Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• ½ cup packed light brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup pumpkin purée
• 1 egg yolk
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups old-fashioned oats

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   In another large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until smooth. Add the pumpkin purée, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and whisk again until well combined.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Add the oats and mix until just incorporated.

5. 5

   Using a 1.5 tablespoon spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop a rounded amount of dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly flatten the top of each cookie.

6. 6

   Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and lightly golden.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
