Getting pumpkin cookies just right is no small feat but our Oh My Gourd Cookies nails it. Real pumpkin purée gives these cookies their signature soft, chewy texture without turning them into little cakes. That’s the tricky thing about baking with pumpkin: it’s naturally loaded with moisture, which can make cookies puff up and lose that satisfying chew.
The secret? Drying out the pumpkin first to remove excess water, which concentrates the flavor and gives the dough just the right balance. The result is a perfectly chewy, slightly spiced cookie that melts in your mouth.
They’re also incredibly easy to make by combining all the ingredients and rolling the dough in our Pumpkin Spice Latte blend, pop them in the oven, and 12 minutes later, your kitchen will smell like a cozy fall day. These cookies are the perfect balance of pumpkin goodness and warm autumn spices, a sweet little reminder that sweater weather is the best season of all.
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled. My #1 baking tip? Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour as it will always lead to using too much flour. Place spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and swipe excess flour off with the back of a knife.
In a small bowl mix the granulated sugar and pumpkin spice latte together and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper
Dry your pumpkin; you might be tempted to skip this step but do not. First spread the pumpkin on a plate and lightly press with a paper towel to absorb the excess liquid. Repeat the step at least four more times or until the paper towel is relatively dry. You should see that you have reduced the ½ puree to approximately ¼ cup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients
In a large bowl cream the softened butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed for 1-2 minutes
Add in the egg yolks and vanilla and mix on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes
Add in the pumpkin and mix on medium-low speed to combine
Add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined
Chill the dough in the fridge for 20 minutes
Scoop the dough with a 2 tbsp cookie scoop, and roll them into balls. Then roll the dough balls in the spiced sugar
lace the cookie dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheets and bake for 12 minutes
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days

Thank you so much for your kind words! You should try our coffee rub as well. It is fabulous on a steak but also cauliflower steaks, brussel sprouts and as a carrot glaze.
The best thing to happen to our family dinners. Found them at a local outdoor market/fair and decided to try them out. That was almost a year ago and we've been reordering for ourselves, purchasing as gifts for friends, and sending in supply packages to our daughter in college. It elevates EVERYTHING it goes in. There arent a lot of things we don't use both the salt and pepper for now, but if you have to prioritize and only get one....get the pepper. Get 12. Stock up. Trust us.
I received a gift of Tomahawk Pork Chops and used Warriors Blend as a rub. It was phenomenal! I have also used it on grilled salmon to rave reviews. I bought a second jar for my son-in-law who is just starting his grilling journey - guaranteed to be successful cook with this secret weapon.
