Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • For the Maple Frosting:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  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 medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and chopped nuts (if using).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cookies cool, prepare the maple frosting. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  12. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe the maple frosting over the tops.
  13. Allow the frosting to set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven. Cookies should be soft in the center.
  • For a stronger maple flavor, use dark or robust maple syrup.
