Pumpkin Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/3 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup  Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries 
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 

 

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. (I used a baking stone without parchment paper and it worked fine too.)

Step 2: Combine flour, oats, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt in medium bowl.

Step 3: Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract; mix well.

Step 4: Add flour mixture; mix well. Stir in pecans, dried cranberries, and chocolate cihps.

Step 5: Use a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons) to drop approximately 8 scoops of dough per prepared baking sheets.

Step 6: Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until cookies are firm and lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
