Do you like oatmeal cookies? My favorite cookie varieties all include oats: oatmeal raisin cookies, oatmeal scotchies, oatmeal creme pies, I could go on and on. Today we’re making pumpkin flavored with extra pumpkin spices. I baked many test batches, changing ingredients ever so slightly, and here is the winning recipe. These pumpkin cookies are better than I ever expected. In fact, one taste tester said, “these are the best cookies I’ve ever eaten.” (And she has tested a lot of my cookie recipes!) Another described them as “better than an oatmeal creme pie” and then said “ohhhhhhh I need another one.” Can’t argue with either of them! They’re dense like an oatmeal cookie should be, incredibly moist and soft-baked style without tasting like a cakey pumpkin muffin. I made three different varieties:
Cranberry Chocolate Chip White Chocolate Cranberry Dark Chocolate Pecan with Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)
So many goodies to choose from for your pumpkin oatmeal cookies! Do you want to know the best part? This recipe is one of the easiest cookie recipes I’ve ever made. There is no mixer required. There is no dough chilling required. No extra work, no extra dishes, no waiting around for dough to chill! And it’s a great place to use your homemade pumpkin pie spice!
