- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin purée, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.

4. Incorporate Dry into Wet:
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

5. Fold in Nuts:
Carefully fold in the chopped pecans and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

6. Shape Cookies:
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.

7. Bake:
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and set around the edges.

8. Cool:
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
