  • 6 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree

  • 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

For the Icing

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened

  • 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined, scraping down the sides.
  • Add in the oats and mix until evenly distributed, the mixture will be thick.
  • Use a cookie scoop or roll dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on your prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes until they puff slightly, appear dry on top, and lightly golden around the edges.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the tray for about 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting. Whip the butter in a medium bowl with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
  • Add one spoonful at a time of the powdered sugar until it is all combined, it will resemble sand.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of the cream, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. Mix until combined, if it still seems too thick, add an additional tablespoon of cream.
  • Sprinkle pumpkin spice over iced cookies.
