Scale
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter softened to room temperature

- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (80 grams) pumpkin puree squeeze out excess moisture with paper towels*
- 1 and 1/2 cups (150 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the oats until evenly distributed.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
