Preheat oven to 350Ā°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Set aside.

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl; flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice. 

Stir and set aside.

Spread the pumpkin puree out onto a plate.

Use paper towels to blot away the excess moisture. 

Keep blotting with a fresh paper towel until the paper towel no longer becomes immediately saturated.  It will take several paper towels. 

Place white sugar, brown sugar, blotted pumpkin purƩe and melted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix everything together until combined.

Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix those in until completely combined. 

Add the reserved dry ingredients (except the oats) to the batter. Mix everything together until totally incorporated.

Add oat meal, stir on low speed to combine.

Add chocolate chips and stir on low speed until incorporated.

Use a cookie scoop to scoop out ping pong ball sized mounds of dough. Use your fingers or a spatula to gently press down each dough ball slightly into a round disc.

Sprinkle a few flakes of Maldon salt onto each cookie.

Bake for 14 minutes or until cookies start to brown slightly.

Allow cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes.

Use a spatula to transfer cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies are soft and chewy and studded with sweet white chocolate chips. The oats give them a lovely chew, and the white chocolate chips add a lovely hint of sweetness. The pumpkin spice gives them that fall flavor we all crave this time of the year. They are utterly delectable and because they are so easy to make you can whip them up anytime the urge strikes you. They’re the perfect after school snack with an icy cold glass of milk, or a mid-morning treat with a steaming hot cup of coffee. Everyone, and I mean everyone, loves these cookies! Be sure to give them a try. You won’t be disappointed, I promise!
