Ingredients
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup high-quality chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, milk, and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Stir in the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Add the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, quick oats, pecans, and coconut, and stir until well combined.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or wax paper.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
While the cookies are setting, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of the cookies.
Sprinkle with extra coconut if desired before serving.
Notes
Ensure you are using 100% pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their texture. For a crunchier texture, toast the pecans lightly before adding them.
