Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃ and line two trays with parchment paper. Melt and cool the butter. In a small glass, combine white sugar and cinnamon and set aside. This will be the topping for the cookies.
1/4 tsp cinnamon, 2 tbsp white sugar
In a medium bowl, add in flour, oats, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 3/4 tsps baking soda, 1 1/2 tsps cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp ginger, pinch of cloves, 3/4 tsps baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
In a large bowl, whisk cooled butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add in vanilla, egg, maple syrup, and pumpkin. Whisk until smooth.
1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, 1 egg, 1 tbsp vanilla, 3/4 cups pumpkin puree, 2 tbsp maple syrup
Add in the dry ingredients and mix until a soft cookie dough forms. Don’t over-mix!
Scoop 6 cookie dough balls (approx 2 tbsp each) and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Gently flatten down and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of each cookie (See photo for reference)
Bake for 13-16 minutes. Mine took 16 minutes. The cookies will be ready when the edges are a golden brown, but the inside will look very soft. Remove from oven, let the cookies cool on the hot pan for a few minutes before serving warm or cool completely and enjoy!
