Ingredients
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/2 cup salted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Let it boil for exactly 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold in the quick-cooking oats until thoroughly coated.
Drop uniform spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure you use quick-cooking oats for the best texture. If the mixture remains too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them firm up. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
