Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies Fall Flavors In Every Bite

When the leaves start to change and the air feels crisp, it is time to make Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies! Imagine biting into a soft, chewy cookie that blends the earthiness of pumpkin with warm spices, tender oats, and indulgent chocolate. Unlike cakey cookies, this cookie recipe will produce soft, chewy cookies with a little bit of crunch around the edges. You’re going to want to have a batch of these pumpkin cookies on hand all Autumn long!

Ingredients in Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Butter – the rich, creamy base of the cookies Pumpkin Puree – a symbol of Fall, pumpkin puree adds a velvety texture to these Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies Brown Sugar – with its warmer, caramel notes, brown sugar is the perfect choice Egg – the egg helps to bind the dough, adding structure and moisture Vanilla Extract – vanilla adds a subtle sweetness that rounds out the flavor profile of these cookies Milk – milk creates a more tender crumb and a melt-in-your-mouth texture Quick Oats – quick oats are pre-cooked and rolled making them the perfect texture for cookies All-Purpose Flour – flour gives the cookie dough structure and stability Baking Soda – this recipes leavening agent Salt – just a pinch of salt balances the sweetness and lets all the flavors shine Pumpkin Pie Spice – the quintessential Fall blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice that creates the iconic “pumpkin spice” Chocolate Chips – I like to use semi-sweet but you can use milk, dark, or white chocolate chips or even butterscotch chips!

Tips for Baking

For easy clean-up use parchment paper or silicone mats on top of the baking sheets For ultra-smooth mixing, allow the wet ingredients to come to room temperature before mixing and sift the dry ingredients before adding To make gluten-free cookies, substitute the flour for your favorite GF baking blend To create uniformly sized cookie dough balls, use a medium cookie scoop Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts If you just want the pumpkin spice flavor, but not the actual pumpkin flavor, replace the pumpkin puree with extra butter
