How to Make the Pumpkin Spiced Oat Cookies Recipe
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter for 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and beat until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Next, add the egg and vanilla, and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl, and mix until just combined. Add the oats and mix to combine.
- Finally, stir in the chocolate chips, coconut, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds.
- Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop large balls of dough (about 2-3 tablespoons each), and place 2-inches apart on the cookie sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 14-15 minutes (the centers will look a little soft)
- Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
