Equipment

  • baking sheet

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 cup all purpose flour *see notes
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2.5-3 tsp pumpkin spice add extra for extra flavor!
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg optional*
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil (melted)

For frosting

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp almond milk or water * you may need a little more depending on thickness desired

Instructions

  • Set oven to 350 º degrees. In a large bowl whisk the dry ingredients together. flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, oats, sugar
  • Add the wet ingredients to the center of the mixed dry ingredients and mix with a spoon. coconut oil, vanilla extract, pumpkin purée and egg.
  • Form cookies into 1 inch balls on a parchment lined baking sheet or on the baking sheet directly. Set oven to 350. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
  • Let cookies cool a bit (this will help them stick together, try not to touch them!) While cooling make the optional icing in a bowl. Add powdered sugar and water to form icing. Once cookies are fully cooled and stay together, gently dunk them into the frosting or drizzle the frosting over them. 

Icing

  • Add powdered sugar and almond milk together in a small bowl. Briskly whisk together well, add a tiny bit of almond milk if you need to thin the icing out a bit more. If you want the icing thicker, add more powdered sugar slowly and whisk.

Notes

  • Don't overcook! These cookies are wonderful when they are soft. Once they are out of the oven and cool, they will form together perfectly so try not to overcook them.
  • Only put icing on once the cookies are cooled. This will ensure a pretty glazed topping and won't wast the icing with it falling off the side.
Cookies should be stored in an airtight container on the counter for about 4 days or in the fridge for 7 days.
