Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree , canned
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup melted coconut oil , or vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups (160 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (100 grams) old fashioned oats
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice , add a little more if you like extra spice
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Whisk wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk 1 cup pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1 Tablespoon vanilla and 1 egg until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cup flour, 1 cup oats, 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Make cookie dough batter. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix just until you see a little flour left. Stir just until combined. Do not over mix.
- Bake. Drop cookies by the spoonful, or medium cookie scoop, about 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the bottoms are lightly browned. Check one and bake 1 to 2 more minutes if the center is not quite done.
- Cool. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Cookie texture: For chewier cookies, blot the pumpkin purée with paper towels before mixing. This removes extra moisture that can make the cookies cakey.
Storage & Freezing: Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days. Freeze cooled cookies in a container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
