Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour, scoop & leveled
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice homemade or store-bought
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 125 g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, how to measure brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup raisins

Pumpkin Spice Glaze

  • 30 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, homemade
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp whole milk

Instructions

Cookies

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter and both sugars. Beat on high for 2 minutes until well combined, pale, and fluffy. Scrape down the sides.
  • Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla, beating for 15 seconds until well combined.
  • Mix in Oats: Pour in oats and beat on low speed for 10 seconds until just incorporated into the dough.
  • Add Flour Mixture: Add the flour mixture, beating for on low speed for 15 seconds until a dough forms without over-mixing.
  • Raisins: Fold in raisins using a spatula until evenly distributed.
  • Chill: Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat Oven: While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 156ºF (180ºC) fan-forced. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Form Cookies: Roll about 1 heaping tablespoon (30g / 1 oz.) of dough into a ball, flatten in your palms and place on the baking sheet. Leave a small gap between each cookie.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the tops are set.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.

Pumpkin Spice Glaze

  • Prepare the Glaze: Once the cookies have cooled, start making the glaze. In a small mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Pour in the melted butter and milk. Whisk until smooth.
  • Dip Cookies: Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. If the glaze thickens while glazing, whisk in an extra ½ tablespoon of milk to thin it out.
  • Set Glaze: Place the glazed cookies on a wire rack and allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Store: Allow cookies to cool completely and store in an airtight container, at room temperature for 1 week.
Freeze Baked Cookies: Place baked and cooled cookies in a freezer-friendly zip-lock bag or container, layered with parchment paper between each layer of cookies to prevent sticking. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw: At room temperature for 1-2 hours until soft enough to eat.
