Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Cookie Icing

  • cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, for 2 to 3 minutes or until creamy and combined.
    ¾ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup dark brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Add the egg and vanilla and beat in until combined. Mix in the pumpkin puree.
    1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, old fashioned oats, pumpkin pie spice, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
    2 cups all purpose flour, 1¼ cups old fashioned oats, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and stir just until combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons) to scoop dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies for 9 to 11 minutes until puffed up and no longer glossy on top. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on the sheet tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cookie Icing

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract in a small, shallow bowl until smooth.
    1½ cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons whole milk, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Dip the cookies in the icing or drizzle on top. Return cookies to the wire rack and let sit for 10 minutes so the icing can set.

Notes

Storage Information
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. To increase longevity you can store them in your refrigerator for up to a week!
To Freeze: You can freeze these cookies as well. I recommend freezing before icing for the best results but they can be frozen iced as well. Store cooled cookies in a freezer safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw to room temperature and enjoy!
