Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups 186g all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ¼ cups 260g quick cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups 300g packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup 226g unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, or a hand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined.
  • Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring everything is blended evenly without overmixing. Add the oats and mix until fully combined.
  • Scoop out the dough using 2 tablespoons for each cookie, placing them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the chilled dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are slightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze them in an airtight container or resealable bag for up to 2 months.

Notes

Plan ahead for the chilling time to ensure your cookies have the best texture.
