Ingredients
  • 2 cups + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 heaping tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 8 oz unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup dark molasses
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • chocolate chips and dried cranberries - a combo up to a total of 1½ cups.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°/180°.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. If you'd like the cookies thicker, melt the butter now. If you want them thin, don't melt the butter yet.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Once well mixed, fold in the oats.
  5. If you want your cookies thin, melt the butter now.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk the butter, molasses and both sugars.
  7. Once combined, stir in the egg.
  8. Now add the pumpkin and vanilla to the sugary-egg mixture.
  9. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix.
  10. Add in your chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
  11. Scoop about 1-2 tbsp of dough onto the prepared sheets. Give the batter enough space to spread.
  12. Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes.
  13. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets.
