#1 Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1.33 cups light brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 can pumpkin , 15 ounce
• 0.5 cups apple butter
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.

2. 2

   Stir the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt in a bowl.

3. 3

   Beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg and allow it to blend into the mixture before adding the other along with the vanilla. Add the pumpkin and apple butter; continue beating. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the walnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
