Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 egg yolk (large)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until thoroughly combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled, but that’s okay.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for chewy cookies.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
