These Pumpkin Spice No Bake Cookies are a delicious, no-bake treat that combines the warm, cozy flavors of pumpkin spice with chewy oats and optional white chocolate chips. Perfect for fall, they’re easy to make and require no oven time, making them a quick go-to dessert.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes (includes cooling time)
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and pumpkin puree. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, and let it boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  2. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the Oats: Gradually add the quick oats to the mixture, stirring until the oats are fully coated with the pumpkin spice mixture. If using white chocolate chips, stir them in now.
  4. Form the Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming cookies.
  5. Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until they are set and firm.
  6. Serve: Once the cookies are completely cooled and set, they are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Choose Your Oats Wisely: Quick oats work best for this recipe because they bind well and create a softer texture. Avoid using old-fashioned oats as they may make the cookies too chewy.
  • Customize Your Cookies: If you’re not a fan of white chocolate chips, feel free to leave them out or substitute with dark chocolate chips, nuts, or even dried cranberries for a bit of tartness.
  • Consistency Is Key: Make sure to boil the mixture for the full 2 minutes. This step helps ensure that the cookies will set properly and not turn out too soft or runny.
