These pumpkin oatmeal cookies are perfect for fall, because they're comforting, cozy, and you could even say healthy-ish (they have oats, right?). The pumpkin keeps them from being dry, the oats give them great texture, and the chocolate chips makes them just better. They come together fast and are perfect when you want an easy homemade treat without a lot of work.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, add the oats, pumpkin, maple syrup, and chocolate chips.
Stir everything together until it forms a sticky dough.
Divide the dough into 12 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten them into cookie shapes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until they’re set and lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This helps them hold their shape. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them slightly warm for a soft, chewy treat.
