How to Make Oatmeal Garden Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the pureed pumpkin (or squash/zucchini), chocolate chips, and chopped nuts.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
