Looking for a healthy fall treat your family will love? Try these Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies and you’ll be in pumpkin heaven! Not only are these holiday cookies really yummy, but they’re good for you, too!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda, set aside.
In a standing mixer or a large bowl whip the butter and sugar, add pumpkin puree, vanilla, and egg and whisk together.
Add in the flour mixture and mix together until just combined. Slowly add in oatmeal and mixing until just combined so you don't get tough cookies.
Place dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up. Spoon out tablespoon sized cookies and bake for 15 minutes. Let cookies cool on a wire rack before adding frosting.
Whisk together powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice until desired constancy, add warm water a teaspoon at a time if needed to thin it out. Dip the top 1/3 of the cookies into the frosting, place back on the parchment paper lined cookie sheets (for easy clean up) and let set for 10 minutes, place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
