Fall is the best for so many reasons—the days get cozier, the leaves start to change, and comforting cozy soups and warming drinks come around warm us up in the best of ways. But, perhaps the best part of fall is that it’s the season of pumpkin treats. We’re not just talking about pumpkin spice lattes and homemade pumpkin pie, but pumpkin cinnamon rolls and pumpkin ice cream too. [Insert head-exploding emoji here.]
Now, there’s a newcomer to the scene: Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies. These fall treats combine the best of oatmeal cookies with pumpkin’s delicious seasonality. Soft and chewy with a maple glaze that adds an autumnal flair, these pumpkin oatmeal cookies are just the thing to fill up your cookie jar this fall.
Do I have to add the nuts?
Definitely not! While we love the added texture of chopped pecans, your cookies will still be deliciously chewy without them. If you’re allergic or just don’t like nuts, you can even swap in golden raisins—they’ll add even more chewiness!
Can I change anything?
Sure can! If you’d prefer a plain cookie, feel free to skip the glaze. While you can always use store-bought pumpkin spice, we also have a homemade pumpkin spice recipe if you really want to take these cookies up a notch.
