Fall-inspired pumpkin oatmeal cookies with pecans, chocolate chips, and maple cinnamon frosting - a perfect treat for the season!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice (or clove, if preferred)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup oil
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats, divided
Maple Cinnamon Icing
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or pumpkin spice
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla until creamy. Add pumpkin and mix until just combined. Add ½ cup oats and allow to sit while you combine the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet mixture and mix on low until just combined. Fold in the oats, pecans, and chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to divide the batter into cookies on the prepared sheet pan. Place a piece of wax or parchment paper on top of the scooped cookie dough and use another sheet pan to flatten the cookies to a 2 ½-inch round.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- While the cookies are baking, make the icing by combining the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Cover until ready to use.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Drizzle the maple cinnamon icing on top. Enjoy!
