Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips or pumpkin seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until well combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips/pumpkin seeds.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. You can flatten them slightly with the bottom of a glass if you prefer.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra soft cookies, do not overbake. They will continue to set as they cool.
  • You can substitute applesauce for some of the butter for a lighter cookie.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
