I have no idea where I found the original recipe and I've doctored the heck out of it. So here's my latest, yummiest version.
Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies
We used a pumpkin we grew in our garden! |
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup pureed pumpkin
1 cup of chocolate chips or raisins or nuts
Preheat oven to 350.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and salt.
Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and mix. Add vanilla and mix. Add pumpkin and mix. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and combine. Stir in chips/raisins/nuts if using.
Drop by rounded teaspoonful onto ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
I ran a nutrition analysis based on a batch of 48 cookies with 2 cookies per serving and here's what I came up with. Oh, and I made these without any of the optional mix-ins because my picky picky kid can't handle the texture. I would love to add walnuts to up the protein. Instead, I serve them with nuts and milk.

What is the easiest way to get to the pumpkin to puree yourself? Cut off the skin, then steam? Cut holes in it and put it in the oven and then skin it? Inquiring minds want to know!
