Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• ½ cup apple butter
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
• 1 ⅓ cups light brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 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.
