Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats- do not use quick oats
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup pumpkin pureé
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups butterscotch morsels
  • ½ cup raisins, optional

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter and sugars. Cream until light and fluffy on medium-high speed. Add in eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin pureé on low to combine. Fold the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture. Combine until just mixed- do not overmix. Fold in the pecans, raisins, and butterscotch morsels.
  • Cover and chill the dough at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees while the dough chills. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a small cookie scooper, scoop out the dough (apprx. 1 1/2 heaping tablespoons), pressing the cookie dough with the back of a wet spoon to flatten the tops slightly. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. Cool the cookies for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
