Iced Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
I may be an admitted chocoholic, but there is something so satisfying about a fresh batch of soft oatmeal cookies! Especially when they’re warm out of the oven and drizzled with a sweet glaze…mmmmm…
This recipe for pumpkin pie oatmeal cookies combines two of my favorite things: delicious oatmeal cookies and pumpkin! It is the perfect fall dessert because there is just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. You can definitely taste it, but it is not overpowering.
And since these iced pumpkin cookies are made with real pumpkin, they don’t have that weird taste that some “pumpkin spice” stuff does!
These simple pumpkin oatmeal cookies are made with real food ingredients and you can truly taste the difference! Soft, chewy, thick, sweet, and just a hint of spicy cinnamon — absolutely perfect!
Now let’s talk about the glaze for just a sec…
While our pumpkin oat cookies are tasty on their own, once you add our cinnamon sugar glaze they go from yummy to heavenly. Yes…the icing is that good! Or maybe I’m just a frosting freak…who knows? 😉
Ok, ok, I know we food bloggers tend to talk a lot…(cut us some slack…we just love food!) But anyways, lets get to the good part…on to the pumpkin oatmeal cookies recipe!!

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper or non-stick silicone baking mats. Set aside.
How to Make Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Stir together oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
In a separate large mixing bow, add the butter, pumpkin puree, sugar, molasses, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
Add eggs one by one, whisking as you go, until batter is smooth.
Slowly begin to add the oat mixture to your large mixing bowl, stirring until well combined. Your batter should be thick and easy to form into balls.
Using your cookie scoop, place pumpkin oatmeal cookie batter onto your prepared baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, rotating cookie sheets at the halfway mark. When the cookies are done they will start to turn a rich golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow too cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Icing Directions
Whisk the powdered sugar, cinnamon, water and vanilla together in a small mixing bowl until you have a smooth glaze.
Take each pumpkin oatmeal cookie and place face-down in the bowl of glaze, so that the top is coated. Flip right-side-up and place on the cooling rack again so the glaze can set.
Repeat with each cookie. While frosting is still wet, sprinkle all of the cookies with cinnamon.
How to Store Your Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Your iced pumpkin oatmeal cookies will last up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature.
You can also freeze them by individually wrapping each cookie and then placing the wrapped iced pumpkin cookies in a sealed freezer bag.
