How to Make the Pumpkin Spiced Oat Cookies Recipe

1. Whisk the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside. 
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter for 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and beat until creamy, about 2 minutes. 
3. Next, add the egg and vanilla, and beat until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. 
4. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl, and mix until just combined. Add the oats and mix to combine. 
5. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips, coconut, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds.  
6. Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 45 minutes. 
7. Preheat the oven to 350. 
8. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. 
9. Scoop large balls of dough (about 2-3 tablespoons each), and place 2-inches apart on the cookie sheets. 
10. Bake the cookies for 14-15 minutes (the centers will look a little soft) 
11. 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.
12. Cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
