Fall is upon us and I am craving all things pumpkin. Well, except the lattes.... those aren't my jam. But pretty much everything else is :) I have been waiting for an opportunity to make these cookies and when we had a rainy evening and everything on hand I jumped on it.
Here's What You'll Need
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon milk (not nonfat), plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Step 1 - Mix the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl.
Step 2 - Place the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in your mixer. Start it on medium and let it go for a few minutes until it's all fluffy and lighter in color.
Step 3 - Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix.
Step 4 - Add in half of the flour/oat mixture, mix it up a bit then half of the pumpkin and mix. Repeat with the other half of the flour/oats and pumpkin. Be sure to scrape down the sides.
This is seriously the weirdest looking dough. It's like a cookie dough/cake batter hybrid and I was completely skeptical. I scooped it out using a 1/4 cup measuring cup (per the original directions) and plopped them onto parchment paper lined baking sheets (these are my favorite because they're HUGE!).
Step 5 - Bake the cookies for 24 minutes at 350 degrees. I did two at a time and rotated the two pans so that they were on the lower rack half of the time and the upper rack the other half.
Step 6 - After the cookies have cooled on a cooling rack, mix the powdered sugar, milk and maple syrup together using a fork. It should be smooth and not super thick.
Step 7 - Take the glaze and drizzle it over the cool cookies
Let the glaze set for about 20 minutes and then you're set!
Spoiler alert - you don't have to wait for it to set... it's good when it's gooey as well :)
YUM!!!
They are so so so good!!! Fall goodness without being way too pumpkiney ;)
So cross your fingers and hope for a dreary day so you can get your bake on :)

ReplyDeleteQuick question; why not nonfat milk? :)
ReplyDeletePumpkin and powdered sugar going on the grocery list so I can make these ASAP!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know I'm not the only one who LOVES pumpkin....but not in her latte! :) These look yummy!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, where is your salt and pepper container from?! LOVE! I'm sure it is posted somewhere on your blog, but I can't find it for the life of me!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try these cookies!
Yum! I JUST bought pumpkin to make muffins, but I think I may have to shift it over and make these cookies instead :) They look so yummy! I too am NOT a fan of the PSL, but LOVE everything else pumpkin :)
ReplyDeleteYummy Andrea! I am going to see if the kids will try them in my house!
ReplyDeleteThis may be kind of a dumb question but is the stand mixer really needed? I only have a hand held one with no paddle attachment, does that make much of difference? They look delicious!!

ReplyDeleteLove your recipes!!! I cant wait to make these for my family! Have a great Friday Eve :)
