Pumpkin Cranberry Nut Cookies

Reasons we Love these Pumpkin Cranberry Nut Cookies…
All the flavors are carefully balanced in these cookies, with enough pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to give them a warm, delicious flavor, not overpowering.
These are small cookies, so you can eat two of these cuties and not feel overly guilty.
Also, the cookies have enough warm spice flavor in them to give you a welcome sensation of the fall season!
They’re easy to freeze.
Plus, if you have any leftover pure pumpkin or puree, you can freeze it in small zip-lock bags and label them with the amount remaining for future baking.
Ingredients Needed:
For this cookie recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
1 + 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 + 1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup pure pumpkin ( I used Libby’s)

Quick Directions: How To Make Pumpkin Cranberry Nut Cookies?
Our full recipe card is located at the bottom. But if you prefer, here are the directions for you to easily follow as well.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

Great Recipe Tip!
I also have to tell you about these amazing silicone cookware mats that I have been using and how much I absolutely LOVE them! They are a great little find! They are completely oven-safe, non-stick rubber mats that you place over your baking sheets when baking and can be reused a hundred times. If you’re interested in them, just click on the link for these non-stick silicone mats.
Then wipe them clean, making them ideal for easy cleanup!
