- 3 cups rolled oats divided
- ½ cup ground flaxseed

- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Ingredients for Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar sifted
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, combine apples, butter, 2 T brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Cook over medium-low heat until apples are softened, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Place one cup of oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until finely ground.
- Pour ground oat flower in a large bowl and add remaining oats, flaxseed, 1 tsp. cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt, and ½ cup brown sugar. Wisk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, pumpkin puree, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.
- Pour wet ingredients into oat mixture and stir until combined.
- Add cooked apples to oat mixture and mix until combined.
- Scoop large spoonfuls of batter onto lined cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until cookies are set and golden brown. Halfway through the baking time, use a spatula to gently flatten cookies.
- While the cookies are baking, mix the glaze by combining sifted powdered sugar, cream cheese and milk. Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool, then drizzle a spoonful of glaze on each cookie. Allow cookies to cool completely before serving.
- Store in an air tight container or freeze for up to three months.

The glaze is optional but does add a lot of delicious yum to the cookies!
