Easy Pumpkin Recipes that Kids Love: Pumpkin Pie Cookies & More
If you’re looking for a snack-worthy Fall treat, I’ve got you! These delicious and nutritious pumpkin pie cookies are soft, fluffy and kid-approved!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups flour I use ½ white flour, ½ whole grain flour
- 1 1/4 cups 120g rolled old fashioned oats
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pure pumpkin canned
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 18 by 13-inch baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl whisk together flours, oats, spices, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds, set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter/coconut oil and brown sugar until combined. Mix in egg, vanilla extract and pumpkin and gently fold until just combined.
- Scoop dough out using a medium cookie scoop, or 2 Tbsp at a time, and drop onto prepared baking sheets spacing cookies 2-inches apart. Flatten them just slightly.
- Bake one sheet at a time in preheated oven until cookies are set, about 13-14 minutes.
- Allow to cool, and top with favourite cream cheese or vanilla icing prior to serving (or not!)
Notes
If you want to make these a bit more decadent, you can add a cream cheese icing on top after they’ve cooled. You’ll notice in the photos that the icing I put on is quite thin. All I did was take some icing sugar and mixed it with a bit of almond milk to make a paste!
If you’d like to make these into a vegan cookie, simply substitute a chia egg (1 tbsp ground chia + 2.5 tbsp water) for the egg and make sure to use coconut oil instead of butter. Enjoy!
