Ingredients
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and milk. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring often. Let boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- Add rolled oats and mix until fully coated.
- Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly if desired.
- Allow cookies to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the right consistency.
- Work quickly — mixture sets as it cools.
- Press cookies firmly when shaping to help them hold together.
- Add chopped pecans, walnuts, or white chocolate chips for variation.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
