Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are not just any ordinary cookies; they’re the perfect blend of autumn flavors and chewy goodness. Picture this: the warm aroma of pumpkin, the sweetness of brown sugar, and the hearty feel of oats all wrapped up in a cute little cookie that’s just begging for a glass of milk!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups oats (rolled or quick oats)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, but who would say no?!)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is where the magic happens!
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. You want it to be so fluffy that if it were a pillow, you’d be napping on it!
- Add the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined. Go on, give it a good stir!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Then, slowly add this dry mixture to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined; don’t overmix! We want cookies, not cookie dough armor!
- Fold in the oats and chocolate chips (if you’re using them). Now it’s time to get those arms moving! You’ve got a chunky and cozy cookie dough!
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between because these babies will spread! Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown, and your kitchen is filled with delightful pumpkiny aromas!
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. And there you have it, warm and gooey cookies ready to be devoured.
Now, grab a glass of milk, share with friends (or not, we won’t judge), and enjoy these scrumptious Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies! Happy baking!
