Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (for icing)
- 3 to 5 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you gather your ingredients.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the butters and sugars: In another bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Scoop and bake: Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake: Pop them in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Cool down: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Make the icing: Whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and enough milk/cream to reach a drizzle-able consistency.
- Ice those cookies: Once completely cool, drizzle the icing over the tops!
