Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
How to make Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, oats, sugars, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter, pumpkin, and egg. Mix on medium speed with the paddle attachment.
- Add your dry ingredients to your pumpkin mixture and mix on low speed. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix until well incorporated.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, place cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes in preheated oven. Allow to sit for 1 minute after removing from the oven. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool to room temperature.
- Whisk together maple syrup and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Once cookies are thoroughly cooled, drizzle maple glaze over them with a spoon or piping bag.
Tips & Tricks
- Be sure to use pumpkin puree in this recipe and not pumpkin pie filling.
- If your canned pumpkin puree seems watery, pour it into a colander and drain off some of the excess moisture. You could also pour it onto paper towels and blot it.
- Do not use quick cooking oats in this recipe. Whole old fashioned oats will yield the best texture cookies.
- If you like nuts in your cookies, you can add 1/2 cup chopped pecans into the cookie dough.
- Add some extra flavor to your cookies with the addition of 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or raisins.
How to store Pumpkin Cookies
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Lay them in a single layer or put a piece of parchment paper between them so the glaze doesn’t stick them together.
- Keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- When eating leftover cookies, warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds. They are especially delicious when warm!
