These cookies are amazing!! I just rolled regular dough balls and froze on baking sheets. Then loaded frozen dough balls into zip-lock bags until ready to bake.
They were eaten with rave reviews and I had to give everyone the recipe!

I made the Pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies yesterday and WOW!! We loved them. I’ll admit chilling the dough and the extra steps necessary was not something I generally would want to do when making cookies, but it was well worth it in the end. One of my friends asked for the recipe after trying them. This will definitely replace any other pumpkin cookie recipes I have.

Yay!! So, so happy to hear that 🙂 I’m glad these were a hit! Hmm that’s a hard question; I’d probably say these pumpkin snickerdoodles are my favorite!

These are SO good! My new favorite pumpkin cookies! I was really worried bc my dough was very sticky. I probably should have chilled it before scooping it, but I didn’t have time for that. I scooped it and formed the balls right away and then let them chill over night. I absolutely loved them! I noticed you have several pumpkin cookie recipes and I was wondering which is your favorite bc I definitely want to try more, although I’ll be shocked if these can be topped!

How much sugar is in these cookies?

By: Chelen

Chelen — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 12:27:12 +0000

A great new addition to my cookie favorites. I made a gluten free /low sugar version of these cookies that turned out delicious! For the flour I substituted 3/4 c Bob’s Red Mill GF Baking flour and 3/4 c Almond Flour. I also used GF Quick oats. I cut the sugar in half (1/4 white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar) and the cookies were still plenty sweet. When baking them I simply made a big dough ball and cooked them about 12 -14 minutes on parchment paper lined baking sheet. The cookies came out nice and moist! I topped them with a few chips as the recipe called for after they came out of the oven which gave them a nice finish!

I followed the directions with exactness and these still turned out as flat as a pancake. My baking soda and powder were brand new. I chilled twice as indicated. They seem uncooked even after waiting. Taste good but too flat. Won’t be making again.

I LOVE ANYTHING pumpkin!!!! I made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies recently, and they came out soft but were dry and hard as they cooled. I ended up tossing them out. The oatmeal had been frozen in the container so that may have affected the results?

Hi Chelsea, I’m mid-chill on this recipe, and am very excited! One question, though. How big are the individual balls supposed to be? I have them stacked and they’re pretty tall. I’m worried they won’t flatten enough or that I made the balls too large?

No I don’t think this would do well as a bar unfortunately.

I followed the directions and ended up with some of the best cookies I have ever made/eaten. I used a baking sheet, topped with a silicone mat then wax paper and the bottoms came out perfect. Thank you for the recipe.

In reply to Katie.

Thanks for the comment Katie! I hope you enjoy these! The quick oats will absorb more liquid than old fashioned which is why you need them in this recipe. 🙂

By: Katie

Katie — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 05:08:42 +0000

These look great, I’m so excited to try baking them tomorrow night. I have regular old fashioned oats and not quick oats… am I overthinking this or do I need quick oats?

Thanks!!

In reply to Brittany.

It sounds like you may need a bit more flour if its super sticky 🙂 Not too much though as that will make the cookies more cakey. As you refrigerate the dough it will firm up and the oats will absorb a lot of liquid.

By: Brittany

Brittany — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 19:25:20 +0000

Hello! Should the dough be pretty sticky? Regular cookie dough does not stick to my fingers when I roll it out.
I have not refrigerated it yet. If not what should I add?!
Thank you!

Thank you for this cookie recipe & how to properly assemble them so they turn out crispy & chewy all at once. Wonderful recipe ?

In reply to Joanne.

Hey Joanne! I haven’t actually tried whole wheat flour in these so I can’t say for sure. I believe they would work okay, although the taste and texture will be quite different from white flour. Sorry to not be of more help!! I’d love to hear your results if you do try it 🙂

Joanne — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 18:14:01 +0000

In reply to chelseamessyapron.

Chelsea, would I be able to use whole wheat flour in these cookies instead of white flour? Trying to stay away from white flour.

HAHA!!! A bath in these cookies sounds awesome 🙂 As much as I love regular cookies, oatmeal ones are always my favorite! Glad you enjoyed these 🙂

Hi Chelsea,
These cookies are amazing and may be my new favorite cookie! I freeze all my baked goods and these just get better and better with time. I may need to take a bath in them, lol!

You will likely need to add some more flour to compensate 🙂

I have been searching for a non-cakey oatmeal cookie! Would I wreck these if I left the chocolate chips out?

You are so sweet; thank you Lexi! I have a few different lenses, I have a 50 mm 1.8, a 24-70 mm 2.8, and a 100 mm 2.8. I believe the pictures of these cookies I used the 100mm 🙂 Hope that helps!

Hi Chelsea, I love this recipe and your blog! I am thinking about starting a blog and have a hand-me-down DSLR camera from my brother who upgraded to a different model. I want to capture foods in the style like your cookies (not sure how to describe it, but super high resolution I guess). Can you share what camera lens you use for that effect? Thanks!

You have solved the age old problem of the pumpkin cookie, girl! I like cakey cookies sometimes but the best is a soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie! These are perfect!
