I legit ran out of butter the other day. When I say run out, I mean I had one stick of butter left in the fridge. One lonely very battered stick of butter.
My fridge is, um… It’s a hot mess right now.
And the need to bake cookies was strong.
So strong.
I was eyeing Cooking Classy’s Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies with lust.
So much lust.
But I had this one stick of butter. And the recipe calls for two.
And I love me some butter in my cookies.
I credit butter for my hippo hips.
But that one stick of butter, tho. It won’t cut it; changes the structure of the cookie.
What to do…
What to do…
Could I… Could I just replace that second stick of butter with coconut oil?
It turns out you can.
Instead of two sticks of butter, I went with one stick and half a cup of coconut oil.
Spice. More spice. It’s fall. Warm spices are a given.
Pumpkin. So much pumpkin. It’s like crack, you know.
Oats. Fall means hearty cookies are a thing.
More vanilla extract. More is more is more – And that is OK.
More chocolate chips. Who doesn’t enjoy chips in every bite?
Cream.
Bind.
Mix.
Fold.
Chill for a bit to prevent massive cookie spread.
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake.
Sniff. So much sniff. So, so fragrant.
Cool.
Eat this soft as hell cookie.
A hearty, heavily spiced cookie mixed with one stick of butter and half a cup of coconut oil.
Eat.
This cookie flavored with pumpkin and a chip in every single bite.
By design.
Eat.
Repeat.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
