Ingredients
Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon Maple Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1½ tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using a stand mixer or hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Then, mix in the pumpkin puree until the batter is smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
- Stir in the oats until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop the cookie dough by 2-tablespoon-sized scoops onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and milk in a small bowl until the glaze is smooth.
- Once the cookies are fully cooled, drizzle the cinnamon maple glaze generously over each one, letting the sweet glaze set and harden for a perfect finishing touch.
Notes
- Soft Texture: These cookies will be very soft when they come out of the oven. Be sure to let them cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring them.
- Even Better the Next Day: The pumpkin and spice flavors develop more as the cookies sit, making them even tastier the next day.
- Glaze Hardens: The cinnamon maple glaze will set as it cools, giving the cookies a perfectly sweet, crisp finish.
