Ingredients
- Cookies:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Icing:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Add pumpkin puree and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, oats, pumpkin pie spice, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until cookies are set and just starting to brown on the edges.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the icing, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Notes
- Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Cookies will be soft—avoid overbaking to maintain chewiness.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For extra flair, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the dough.
