What do you need for Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies?

Then pack these cookies with oats, pecans, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice!
How to Make Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
These Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies are so simple and flavorful! They are the perfect treat to get you ready for Fall!
You’ll start by combining the butter and sugars together. Then add the pumpkin puree, egg yoke, and vanilla and stir until combined.
Now mix in the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.)
Next, fold in the rolled oats and pecans. (Be sure to leave some pecans to top the cookies with before they bake!)
Use a cookie scoop to create the cookies dough balls.
On the baking sheet, space the cookie dough balls out so they will bake evenly.
Just before baking, press each cookie down slightly and top with the extra pecans we set aside earlier. Then bake!
Once the cookies are finished baking, set them aside to cool. While they are cooling, mix together the sugar glaze.
For the finishing touch, drizzle the glaze over the cookies and enjoy! YUM!

Expert tips and substitutions to recipe
My favorite part about these cookies is it’s so easy to create substitutions.
- You can use a less oats and add chocolate chips, or you can add coconut to the mixture for another burst of flavor!
- If you don’t like pecans, that’s okay! Leave them out or use almonds or walnuts instead!
- If you aren’t a pumpkin fan (WHATTTT???), omit the pumpkin and use 1 whole egg.
This is the perfect Fall Cookie recipe! The addition of the frosting is perfection! YUM!
