Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.

5. Gently fold in the old-fashioned rolled oats until evenly distributed.

6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

7. While cookies cool, prepare the maple frosting by beating cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, followed by maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.

8. Once cookies are cooled, spread or pipe the maple frosting on top of each one.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for easier incorporation.

Measure flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling off.

Don’t overbake; cookies are done when edges are golden but centers are still soft.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
