Soft and chewy Pumpkin Spice Cookies are the perfect treat recipe to have on hand for the fall. Made with pumpkin puree, oatmeal, and pumpkin pie spice, these cookies are great with tea, coffee, or on their own.
Nothing says fall like pumpkin spice. It’s everywhere, and for good reason… it’s delicious! And these cookies are no exception. They are soft and chewy and oh so yummy!
Moreover, these cookies are a great treat to have on hand and perfect for Thanksgiving Dinner or Christmastime. Additionally, they are an excellent cookie recipe for a cookie exchange or make extra and hand them out as gifts.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies Recipe
I love to make a big batch and freeze them for when company comes over or just to have a treat on hand. These are great dunked in hot coffee or tea. Awesome for the fall time or really anytime of the year.
Also, there is no need to get out the handheld mixer or stand up mixer either. You can make this cookie using just a spoon being sure to incorporate the ingredients well.
These are an excellent cookie for gifting as well. So be sure to mix up a double batch and hand them out for thank you gifts for teachers, neighbors, or friends.
These cookies are soft, so be sure to cool these on a wire rack after baking. Great served warm or cold. Give this recipe a try and you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

I love the addition of nutmeg on top of the pumpkin spice. It makes the cookies super spicy and delicious.
I have this recipe saved and will be baking a batch or three of these amazing pumpkin spiced cookies. Since they contain oatmeal they are acceptable at breakfast, right? Asking for a friend 😉
