If you’re looking for a delicious cookie recipe that is perfect for Fall (or any time), may I suggest this one for Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies?
I discovered the recipe several years ago in a fitness app I was using at the time, and ended up really enjoying the flavor of these soft pumpkin oatmeal cookies. They’re really tasty!
The recipe is very easy to make… mix dry ingredients, mix wet ingredients, combine the two, then add raisins and nuts. Stir, drop cookie dough onto baking sheets and bake. That’s it! Here’s how to make them.

Prepare The Cookie Dough
Before beginning, preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease or spray a baking sheet (or sheets). The cookie dough hardly takes any time to make, so you will want the oven at temperature and ready to go!
To make the cookie dough, place oats (old-fashioned), flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together until fully combined. TIP: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice mix, use my homemade version… it’s fantastic! The link to my recipe is HERE.
In a SEPARATE bowl, combine canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, an egg, vegetable oil and vanilla extract until they are fully mixed together.
Add the wet ingredients (pumpkin mixture) to the dry ingredients (flour mixture), and stir until they have been combined.
Stir raisins and chopped pecans (or walnuts) into the dough for the pumpkin spice oatmeal cookies until they are fully incorporated into the batter.
Time To Bake The Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies!
Drop the dough by Tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet(s), leaving about 2″ between each cookie. You should have enough batter to make approximately 2½ dozen pumpkin spice oatmeal cookies in total. Slightly flatten each cookie using the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies at 350°F. for between 11-14 minutes. When done, the cookies should be set in the middle and around the edges.
Let the cookies cool for a minute on the baking sheet before carefully transferring them with a spatula to a wire rack to finish cooling. These cookies will stay soft!
Serve The Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
Once the cookies have cooled completely, they are ready to be served! Stack ’em up on a platter, then serve and enjoy them! They have wonderful pumpkin flavor, and I really think you’re going to like these simple cookies.
As I mentioned before, the cookies will remain soft, but will still be sturdy enough enough to hold easily. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies also freeze very well, if wrapped tightly and stored in an airtight container. Simply thaw the cookies before eating them later!
I hope you have the chance to make these yummy cookies for yourself or those you love, and am confident you’ll like them.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I invite you to come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you… and have a wonderful day!
