Easy Oatmeal Cookies

1 c room temperature butter 1/2 c brown sugar (packed) 1/2 c white sugar 1/4 tsp salt 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp pumpkin pie spices 1 1/2 c old fashioned oats 1 3/4 c flour Preheat oven to 350F Cream together butter and sugars, add in salt if using, then beat in eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and spices. Once combined, mix in the oats and then the flour. Spoon onto a cookie sheet. A sheet of parchment paper is really handy here to slide right off onto the cooling rack. Bake for 13-15 minutes (might be less, but depends on your oven) until just golden-brown at the edges and firm on top. Leave on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes after removing from the oven, then move to a cooling rack. This makes between 2-3 dozen cookies depending how large you make them. They are a soft oatmeal cookie. If you’d like them crispier, bake longer.
