Baking pumpkin oatmeal cookies is a delicious way to enjoy the flavors of fall! Follow these steps to make your own batch of pumpkin oatmeal cookies:

Ingredients: - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened - 1/2 cup brown sugar - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1 large egg - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup canned pumpkin puree - 2 cups old-fashioned oats

Instructions:
