Instructions

On the stove over medium heat, melt together the butter, almond butter, milk, pumpkin puree, and sugar in a large pot. Stir until the sugar is mostly dissolved and it starts to simmer.
Once the mixture is close to boiling, stop mixing and let the mixture come to a rapid boil. Only once it's fully boiling, start a timer for 1 minute. After 1 minute, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla, oats, and pumpkin pie spice.
Using a medium cookie scoop to scoop about 1.5 tablespoon of dough onto the parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Allow the cookies to set for 20-30 minutes at room temperature, or place them in the fridge to set quicker.
Optional: gently press chocolate chips (regular or mini) onto the tops of the cookies once they are completely cooled.

Notes

Line baking sheets with parchment paper before you start baking so that you can immediately scoop the cookies onto the sheets for them to set.
Allow the mixture to come to a full rolling boil (not just a simmer) and then start your timer for 1 minute.
If you notice your cookies are looking super wet, add in some extra quick oats. This will help thicken them up and make them less sticky.
Let the cookies set up for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. If your house is warm (or if you're impatient like me), you can let them set in the fridge as well.
