Ingredients
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure)
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Whisk in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and the egg until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling to avoid excess sugar and unwanted spices. For best results, spoon and level your flour measurements to prevent dry cookies. These store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or can be frozen for up to a month.
