Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice add an extra teaspoon if you like extra spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips Add more to the tops of cookies for more decorative touch. If you want more cookie and not as much chocolate decrease chocolate chips. Use semi-sweet, butterscotch, peanut butter or dark chocolate for choices of chips.
  • ¾ cup dried cherries or cranberries place on top of cookies, pressing gently into dough. Can also use raisins, craisins and nuts if you want!

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.. (To get best results, use parchment paper)
  • Whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, and sugars until smooth and mixed together well.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and mix on low speed until mixed in.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture and mix in until just incorporated. Do not keep mixing - do not overmix.
  • Add chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon, again no overmixing, just until incorporated.
  • Using a small or large ice cream scoop or heaping tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, 6 to 8 per pan, depending on size you are making. Add chocolate chips or add-ins on top if desired. Press down cookies slightly. Bake 13-15 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Makes  18 -30 cookies depending on size.

Notes

  • Flour Tips: Don't over-mix cookie batter especially after the flour is added and add it gradually.
  • Make sure your baking soda is not expired.
  • If you don't have pumpkin spice, just use 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ginger and 1/8 teaspoon cloves, or just use 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to get some spice going on! :)
