Ingredients Needed
Old-Fashioned Oats: Oats provide the base for these cookies, giving them a hearty, chewy texture. Old fashioned oats work best, as they hold up well during baking and provide a nice chew. Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin puree adds moisture and flavor here. Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling! Pumpkin Pie Spice: This blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves infuses the cookies with warm, aromatic flavors. Maple Syrup: Maple syrup naturally sweetens the cookies and adds a hint of rich, caramel-like flavor. It’s a great alternative to refined sugar, keeping the cookies on the healthier side. Chocolate Chips: For just a hint of added sweetness! Feel free to just dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips!

Tips for Success
Customize to your taste! Feel free to add extras like chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of almond butter on top. You can also adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to suit your flavor preference. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by mixing cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves and adding it to the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie batter! To store, place in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze them for up to 3 months.
