Oatmeal raisin cookies kicked up a notch with pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice for the perfect fall treat!

---

If you know me then you know oatmeal raisin cookies are my absolute favorite! I’ll take them chewy, crunchy, soft, fluffy, you name it and I enjoy it. 

This variation of oatmeal raisin cookies features…you guessed it… pumpkin spice! Because it’s the fall season and everything needs a little pumpkin in it right?!

What Ingredients are Needed for Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Raisin Cookies?

Pumpkin Puree: 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling!

Pumpkin Pie Spice:  I buy mine from Trader Joe’s, however you can get it at any local grocery chain.

Coconut Sugar: Can substitute for light or dark brown sugar.

Granulated Sugar

Egg: You can easily make this recipe vegan by using a flax egg instead. 

Vanilla Extract

All Purpose Flour: I haven’t substituted with any other flours yet, so let me know if you do in the comments!

Salt

Baking Soda

Old Fashioned Rolled Oats: We’re using rolled oats for the perfect oatmeal texture. Steel cut oats would not be a good substitute. 

Raisins: I used golden raisins however you can swap for brown raisins or even craisins!

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Step One: Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step Two: In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

Step Three: In a medium mixing bowl, mix the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and oats together. 

Step Four: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Fold together using a spatula until fully combined. Fold in the raisins.

Step Five: Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet (note: this is a stickier dough so just dollop the dough onto the tray using a tablespoon, do not roll together into a ball with your hands), spaced 2 inches apart. 

Bake for 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Repeat until all cookies are baked. Enjoy served warm or cool.
