    Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

    This Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies Recipe is absolutely perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert - but they are so tasty, why not enjoy them year round? Of course we all know that Pumpkin - and everything Pumpkin Spiced - is insanely popular during the fall holidays.

    But why limit pumpkin to a seasonal flavor profile? Pumpkin is not only delicious, but it is a super nutrient-rich food and is so versatile in baking and cooking that you can use it in a ton of every day recipes.

    You are going to love our Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies Recipe!

    Thanksgiving is one of those American holidays where we either go all out or not at all…this is a very happy medium, as it’s very simple to make, but has all of the flavors of your traditional pecan pie that is such a staple for our holiday dinners!

    Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving or Christmas dessert recipe? I tend to stick with the basics, lots of pumpkin, lots of gingerbread and bread puddings!

    The classics are my favorite, and while I love experimenting with new twists, I tend to stick to flavor combinations that I know and love…as well as the rest of the family!
