Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened butter until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool completely before icing.
To make the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
For a spicier flavor, add more cinnamon or a pinch of cloves.
These cookies can be frozen for up to three months without icing.
