Ingredients

  • Pumpkin Purée: ¾ cup
  • Old-Fashioned Oats: 1 ½ cups
  • All-Purpose Flour: 1 ¼ cups
  • Brown Sugar: ½ cup, packed
  • Granulated Sugar: ¼ cup
  • Butter: ½ cup (1 stick), softened
  • Egg: 1 large
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Baking Soda: ½ teaspoon
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: 2 teaspoons
  • Salt: ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In another bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes or until edges are set and centers are soft.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle with glaze if desired.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with tea or cider, or pack into a cookie tin for sharing.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin purée, not pie filling.
  • Old-fashioned oats give the best chewy texture.
  • Let cookies cool completely before glazing.
  • Dough can be chilled or frozen for later use.
