Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

October 18, 2011

  • 115

Nothing says comfort food like pumpkin and oatmeal rolled into one!   

 

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Since it’s officially pumpkin time. Well in my house that is what I call it, as soon as mid September hits I think it’s pumpkin time and I’m surprised they haven’t changed October to Pumpkin yet, well I guess that would get confusing.s. I always look forward to “pumpkin time of year” there are so many things to make with pumpkin and with the aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and clover all around it’s just happy-happy time!

If you are thinking here is another gooey pumpkin cookie, that is bland and just so-so, well I’m happy to say…Not true!

I do not like overly moist gooey pumpkin items. I do like moist cookies, but often I find when pumpkin is added in, they loose all texture and greatness and just remind me of some basic pumpkin bread. Not that there is anything wrong with pumpkin bread, I just don’t think pumpkin cookies should have a pumpkin bread texture.

    I’m actually eating an oatmeal raisin cookie while I’m reading this and wishing that I had some of your pumpkin oatmeal cookies. Honestly, I wish I had some of everything you’ve made with pumpkin!

    I love the smell of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove too, it just fills the house with warmth when you are baking.

    I SO agree with everything you said. I keep trying pumpkin cookies, but most of the time they come out too bread-like. It looks like you did it! These look chewy and…well…cookie-like. Can’t wait to try them. I made your pumpkin dip last year and loved it!
