🍂 1 tsp ground cinnamon
🍂 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
🍂 1/4 tsp ground ginger
🍯 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
🍯 1/2 cup granulated sugar

🍂 1 large egg
🎃 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
🍯 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍪 2 cups old-fashioned oats
For the Icing:
🍚 1 cup powdered sugar
🥛 2 tbsp milk
🍦 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
🍂 Optional: A pinch of cinnamon for extra spice
📝 Directions:
- Preheat Oven: 🔥 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: 🍂 In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: 🍯 In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: 🍂 Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop the Dough: 🍪 Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: 🍪 Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Icing: 🍚 In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If you like, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the icing for extra flavor.
