Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Mix in the eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin puree until well combined.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
