Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, mixing well to form a creamy, flavorful base.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, espresso powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly mixed, ensuring the warm spices are well distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix to maintain a tender and soft texture in the cookies.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the flavors meld, firms up the dough for easier scooping, and reduces spreading during baking.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough onto the sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges turn golden while centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor intensity.
  • Remove cookies from oven when edges are set but centers are still slightly underbaked to keep them chewy.
  • Chilling the dough helps cookies maintain shape and enhances flavor depth.
  • Measure flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dense cookies.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing brown sugar slightly if desired.
