Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies – A Delicious Fall Recipe

Truth be told? I was not a fan of pumpkin anything until this year when I made the most amazing Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes and my life changed. Now I can’t get enough! That’s when I decided I needed to make a fall pumpkin cookie and now we have Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies!

Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies – 

Ingredients: 

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups oats
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup fall leaf sprinkles
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, optional

Directions: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350* F
2. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat.
3. Mix together the flour, oats, baking soda, cornstarch, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
4. In a mixer, cream the butter and sugars. 
5. Add in the egg, pumpkin puree and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
6. Pour in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. 
7. Fold in the sprinkles and optional chocolate chips.
8. Using a cookie scoop, place the dough on the baking sheet. 
9. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes. 
10. Allow to cool a bit, serve and enjoy!

These cookies don’t spread much but they are perfect little balls of deliciousness! Soft, chewy and best served a little warm. I’d almost be willing to say that kids won’t even be able to tell they have pumpkin in them. 

Don’t you think these are the perfect fall cookie?!
