Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies
Don’t pass these cookies by just because you think you don’t like pumpkin. I’m the first to admit pumpkin isn’t my favorite flavor, but I think that’s because most of us immediately associate it with pumpkin pie- which is overwhelmingly pumpkin-y. After making my Pumpkin Cheesecake Rolls and Pumpkin Apple Butter, I am starting to come around. Still unsure? What if I told you these cookies don’t even contain any pumpkin?
The secret to these cookies is a package of Jell-O instant Pumpkin Spice pudding mix. Pudding mix does magical things when added to cookies. Just make a batch of my Very Vanilla Pudding Cookies if you don’t believe me. These Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal cookies seriously might be my new favorite cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 package Jello Instant Pumpkin Spice Pudding mix 3.4oz
- 2 cups instant oats
Instructions
- Beat butter, sugars, and eggs until light and fluffy. Add dry ingredients and blend well.
- Place on ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
- Do not over bake- these will be puffy when fresh out of the oven, allow them to cool and settle on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to fully cool.

These sound wonderful! Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. 🙂
Can you sub the pudding for anything else since i can’t find the pudding?
It’s a seasonal item, that I only find around the Fall season and Wal Mart ususally has it. Sometimes it won’t be with the other pudding mixes, sometimes I find it in the main aisle. But you surely can use any other pudding mix that you think you’d might like.
OMG! These are amazing!
I had picked up a box of the pumpkin spice pudding for .10 on clearance after the holidays.
I did not know what I was going to do with the pudding, since I do not like pumpkin anything.
That is until I found your recipe.
Now I am upset I can’t find more of the pudding in the store. LOL
