Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Large egg
- 0.75 cups Raisins
- 0.5 cups Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk to blend and set aside.
In a large 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 minutes.
Add the canned pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg to the creamed mixture. Beat until smooth and well-combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the raisins and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop evenly sized mounds 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 lightly golden and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
