Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups traditional oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 7 tablespoons canned pumpkin
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 - 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and prep your 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars (by hand or with a hand mixer). Add the egg, pumpkin, and vanilla and mix until smooth.

  4. Add the flour and oats mixture a little at a time into the large bowl and stir by hand until well combined. Then, add the option white chocolate chips and pecans and stir.

  5. Use 1 tablespoon of dough to make each cookie and drop onto the prepped baking sheets about 2 inches apart. I measured and dropped messily onto the sheet, moving quickly. Then, before baking, I went back and slightly shaped the cookies into more round cookie form.

  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges become a light, golden brown.
  7. Cool on baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes and move to a wire rack to cool completely.
