Perfect for snack time, breakfast, or just a cozy afternoon treat.

Let’s dive into this delicious recipe together!

Ingredients

Step 1: Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).

Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleaning up easier.

In a large mixing bowl, add pumpkin and peanut butter.

Whisk until the ingredients are fully mixed and the mixture is uniform in color.

Next, add the oats and stir until they are evenly mixed in.

The addition of the oats will thicken the mixture, giving it the texture of a thick batter rather than traditional cookie dough.

If you plan to add any mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, stir them in now.

Use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.

Make sure to space the cookies about 1.5 inches apart.

Using the back of a metal spoon, flatten the dough until they form thick round disks.

Smooth and round the edges of the disks if needed, as the cookies will not spread much during baking.

Shape the cookies to your desired final appearance.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until done.

The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the cookies, so keep an eye on them.

Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before removing and eating.

After the cookies have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container.

You can keep them in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for longer storage.

Enjoy your delicious pumpkin peanut butter cookies!
