1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
2–3 tablespoons milk (for icing)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, softened butter, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, blending well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove cookies and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Optional: Mix powdered sugar with milk and drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Serve and enjoy with a warm beverage.
