Mixing the wet and dry ingredients for your Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies is a crucial step that can significantly affect the texture and flavor of your cookies. It’s important to combine these ingredients without overmixing, as doing so can lead to tough cookies. When you mix, aim for just enough incorporation until you see no dry flour; a few lumps are perfectly acceptable. This gentle mixing allows the ingredients to combine thoroughly while maintaining the dough’s soft consistency. Remember, the goal is to keep your cookies tender and chewy, so approach this step with care.

Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 minutes.

      Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

          Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoons, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.

                  Cool the Cookies: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
