Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a consistent cookie dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best texture, enjoy within 2-3 days of baking.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality pumpkin puree for the most authentic flavor. Avoid watery puree by draining excess moisture.
- Don't overmix the dough – this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For extra texture, slightly under-crush the Oreo cookies to create varied chunk sizes.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Check your cookies at the 10-minute mark – they should be slightly golden but still soft in the center.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to maintain their perfect texture.
- For an extra indulgent twist, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled cookies or dust with powdered sugar.
- These cookies freeze beautifully! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months for a quick dessert option.
