1cup(227g)salted butter, softened to room temperature
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
1cuppumpkin puree
2cups(284g)all-purpose flour
1 ½teaspoonscinnamon
½teaspoonground nutmeg
¼teaspoonallspice
¼teaspoonground cloves
½teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonbaking soda
2cups(200g)quick rolled oats
½cup(85g)butterscotch chips
½cup(85g)white chocolate chunks or chips
½cup(85g)semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream together the sugars, eggs, butter and vanilla. Mix until light and fluffy.
Stir in the pumpkin and mix well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt and baking soda.
Add the dry ingredients plus the oats to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the chip until the dough is well-combined.
Spoon out mounds of dough onto lined or greased baking sheets. The dough will be sticky; using two spoons to scoop onto the baking sheets will help.
Bake for 13-15 minutes until small holes begin to form in the tops of the cookies. Don't overbake (incidentally, my Aunt Marilyn only had to bake these cookies 10-11 minutes but my oven needed more around he 15 minute mark so watch carefully or they will be dry if overbaked).
Notes
Chips: you can really use any 1 1/2 cups chips you prefer (all chocolate, 3/4 cup butterscotch and 3/4 cup white, etc.). Spices: also, if you don't have the myriad of spices called for, you can sub 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice plus 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for the total of all the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves called for in the recipe.
