Chewy, sweet, Oatmeal Cookies with a Maple Glaze. Warming spices, brown sugar, and then of course the best part – brown butter. Each cookie is glazed with a generous amount of mouth watering creamy maple icing. Serve around Halloween or on Thanksgiving day for dessert. Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies with Maple Glaze are fun and festive to bake during this holiday season. Enjoy!

This delicious cookie begins with brown butter. I just love the nutty taste this adds to my baked cookie recipes. It takes just a few minutes. All you need to do is gently simmer the butter until the particulates separate and you notice brown specs. Once the butter is smelling nutty and looks brown, remove from the heat, allow to cool and proceed with your recipe.

Make sure to stock up on canned pumpkin, cinnamon sticks (best value on line), and star anise for yummy fall recipes and simmer pots!
