Spiced Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies {Recipe}


My love of PUMPKIN has done it again and I've created the most scrumptious cookies around!


I made my own NEW pumpkin cookie recipe by adding pumpkin and spice {and everything nice} to my already famous and perfect BEST Cookies EVER in WendysHat Style  


I just happened to meet a new friend Leslie and the BEST Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting EVER!  I only changed the spices a bit but this is a definite friendship {for both me and my cookies} that was meant to be!


Here it is... my BEST EVER Spiced Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies with cream Cheese Frosting, in true WendysHat Style of course!  Soft, moist, and delicious!

COOKIE RECIPE~

2 cups brown sugar
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups butter -softened
4 eggs
2 cups canned pumpkin
2 t baking soda
2 t baking powder
2 t pure vanilla extract
1 t salt
2 t cinnamon
2 t nutmeg
2 t cloves
     Mix well then add-
5 cups oatmeal
6 cups flour
     Can add chocolate chips or raisins or even nuts but I didn't because I made a batch of those without pumpkin on their own!

Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes, then cool and frost.

FROSTING~

8 ounce cream cheese -softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter -softened
4 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 t pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 t pumpkin pie spice
     Whip together until fluffy and frost.
*note to self ~this would be great on cinnamon rolls!


So...  it's the Perfect time for Pumpkin people, what are you waiting for?

  3. Those cookies look delicious, and I like that they have a nutritional boost from having both pumpkin and oats in them. OK, maybe I'm just trying to rationalize getting to eat cookies!

    I really like the quilt in the background, too.

    1. Sorry I didn't post. This makes A LOT of cookies, depending on the size you roll them, at least 4 dozen.
