Delicious chewy and sweet pumpkin spice oatmeal cookies.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium size mixing bowl, cream together the melted butter, both the brown and white sugar and pumpkin puree. Completely incorporate all of these ingredients.
To the sugar, add the vanilla, the pumpkin pie spice and the eggs, one at a time, stirring in between each added egg. Set that mixture aside.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and stir to combine well. If you wish to refrigerate this dough before baking it, do it now before adding the oats. It is NOT necessary to refrigerate this dough but it is an option.
Lastly, add the oats into the mixture and stir to combine the cookie dough.
Lay out a baking pan with parchment paper or foil and spray with cooking spray. Scoop the cookies with a large spoon and gently flatten slightly. This cookie dough is a little thick so the cookies do not flatten themselves as much in the oven.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are light blonde in color. Let the cookies cool on the pan and firm up before removing them from the pan so they don't break. They are fragile when first out of the oven. Enjoy!
