Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1.3333333730698 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
  • 0.5 cup apple butter
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Method

  1. Set your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare two baking sheets by greasing them.
  2. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt.
  3. Using an electric mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter and light brown sugar until smooth. Incorporate the first egg fully before adding the second one along with the vanilla extract. Beat in the canned pumpkin and apple butter. Mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts. Place spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, until the cookie edges turn golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
