Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and peanut butter, stirring until smooth and well blended.
- Add honey to the mixture and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are completely incorporated.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and sprinkle the ground cinnamon into the wet ingredients, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the rolled oats to the mixture, folding them in carefully until all oats are coated and the mixture becomes thick and cohesive.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.
- Gently press down on each cookie with the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly into a traditional cookie shape.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the cookies to set and firm up.
- Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator and serve. Store any remaining cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother mixing and better cookie consistency.
- For best results, use natural peanut butter without added sugars for a healthier option.
- If the mixture seems too wet, add a few extra rolled oats to help it bind.
- Chill the cookies for at least 30 minutes to achieve the perfect texture - this helps them set and become more firm.
- For variation, try sprinkling some dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top before refrigerating.
- Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control the sweetness and texture.
- If you want a firmer cookie, you can briefly freeze them instead of just refrigerating.
- These cookies are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
