Wrap up fall and bake it and this is what you will get. These pumpkin oatmeal cookies taste like home especially with the addition of the sweet cranberries and rich chocolate chips. These are a classic in our home that can truly be enjoyed any time of year. But the crisp air of fall just makes them taste all the better.
What I love most about these cookies is how versatile you can make them. You can add different flavored chocolate chips, nuts, spices, coconut shavings, the list is endless. But no matter what you decide to add, I have no doubt they will become a new favorite!
