Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 3 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, butter, and canned pumpkin. Stir constantly over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, continue cooking for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage (approximately 235°F or when a small drop forms a soft ball in cold water).

- Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto a sheet of waxed paper. Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the mixture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Adjust the spices to suit your taste for a more personalized flavor profile.
