# List of Ingredients:

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

02 - 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

03 - 1 tsp baking soda

04 - 1/2 tsp salt

05 - 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

06 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

07 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

08 - 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

10 - 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

11 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

12 - 3/4 cup raisins

13 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

02 - Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl.

03 - Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

04 - Mix in egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until well combined.

05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

06 - Gently fold in raisins and nuts if using.

07 - Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

08 - Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until edges are set and centers appear slightly underbaked.

09 - Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

01 -

The texture impossibly soft in the center with chewy edges and hearty oats throughout
They taste like a warm hug but come together in under 30 minutes
The pumpkin keeps them moist for days unlike typical oatmeal cookies that dry out

02 -

Chilling the dough for 30 minutes prevents spreading too much and intensifies the flavors
These may look underbaked when you pull them out but they finish cooking on the hot pan
Using pumpkin pie filling instead of pure pumpkin will make these dense and overly sweet

03 -

Scoop uniform dough balls using a cookie scoop so everything bakes evenly
Use fresh pumpkin pie spice or make your own since older spices lose potency quickly
