Pumpkin spice season is here, and I am absolutely obsessed. Honestly, don’t be surprised if my feed is full of pumpkin spice recipes for the next few months 🤩. There’s just something magical about that warm, cozy mix of spices paired with sweet pumpkin—it’s like autumn in every bite.

These Pumpkin Spice Cookies are soft, chewy, loaded with chocolate morsels, and perfectly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and of course, pumpkin spice. They’re naturally sweetened with a touch of maple syrup and coconut sugar, making them wholesome yet indulgent.

And the best part? They fill your whole kitchen with the dreamiest fall aroma while baking.

Why You’ll Love These Cookies

• Perfectly Spiced: Pumpkin spice + cinnamon + nutmeg = warm, cozy flavors.
• Wholesome Ingredients: Oats, oat flour, pumpkin, and natural sweeteners.
• Chocolate Heaven: Every bite is studded with melty chocolate morsels.
• Smells Like Fall: Seriously, baking these is as good as lighting a pumpkin spice candle.

📝 Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to whip up a batch of these autumnal cookies:

• 1 can pumpkin purée (about 1 cup)
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup oat flour
• ¾ cup oats
• 1 tbsp pumpkin spice
• ½ tbsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp coconut sugar (more to taste)
• ½ tbsp table salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup chocolate morsels (I used @lilys_sweets 🤩)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, eggs, maple syrup, and coconut sugar until smooth.
3. Add the dry ingredients: Stir in oat flour, oats, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
4. Fold in the chocolate morsels: The more, the better!
5. Scoop the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
6. Bake: Place in the oven for about 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown. To test, insert a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, they’re ready.
7. Cool & enjoy: Let them rest on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

🌟 Tips & Variations

• Sweeter Tooth? Add an extra tablespoon of coconut sugar or drizzle with icing.
• Texture Twist: Use quick oats for softer cookies or rolled oats for more chew.
• Add-Ins: Toss in chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
• Dairy-Free Swap: Make sure your chocolate morsels are dairy-free if needed.

🍪 Storage

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Fridge: Keeps for up to a week (they stay moist!).
• Freezer: Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.

These Pumpkin Spice Cookies are everything I love about fall wrapped up in one cozy bite. Soft, warm, sweet, and spiced just right. Plus, they make the perfect snack with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or cider.
