Caramel Stuffed Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies

 Super soft and chewy Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies stuffed with Caramel. Fall baking doesn’t get much better!

Welcome to another week! Did you have a good weekend? Mine is pretty much summarized by these cookies. Cookies are my ultimate comfort food, especially when they come with plenty of chocolate chips, caramel and the awesomeness of pumpkin. I worked hard on these, friends.

I have had my fair share of cakey pumpkin cookies, which isn’t necessarily a negative thing. While they can be just as delicious, I wanted a pumpkin cookie that tastes just like a cookie should. Complete with crispy edges, ultimate chewiness and zero disappointment.

And after perfecting THE pumpkin cookie recipe, I couldn’t help but add ooey gooey caramel to each one. I thought it couldn’t get much better, but the addition of caramel definitely stepped things up.

Once you go caramel stuffed there’s no going back. I may never make “regular” cookies again.

Even though we’re just getting started with the fall recipes, I can confidently say that if I had to choose only one thing to make this season, this recipe would be it. I could eat these cookies week after week and never grow tired of them. On the contrary, the more I eat these cookies, the harder it is to stay away from the cookie jar.

And that’s precisely the reason why.

The dough does require some chill time in the fridge before baking the cookies. It’s essential for enveloping the caramels with the dough and making sure that it doesn’t leak while baking, i.e. to avoid a caramelly mess on your baking sheets.

If you’re short on time, you could skip the caramel step (and therefore the chill time) and simply make amazing Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies. They’re filled with chocolate chips and toffee, btw. This makes for an excellent base recipe and they’re still extremely delicious.

This is why I love fall so much. Good thing we’re just getting started, I need all the time I can get to chow down on these.

 Yep, you should most definitely give them a go! Have an amazing start to your week!

6. 1 cup pumpkin puree
7. 1 teaspoon baking soda
8. 1 teaspoon salt
