Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Hi Friends!
The other night I was in the mood for some cookies. And since it IS fall and all, I decided they should be pumpkin cookies. I made some pumpkin cookies last year but this time I wanted them to have oatmeal. I looked at a few recipes for inspiration, but most of them were full of butter and tons of sugar….so I just kinda did my own thing, as per usual 🙂
I mixed, scooped, baked and tasted. The verdict? I loved them! I know they won’t be for everyone, but they’re moist, chewy and taste like fall. They’re not overly sweet…and they’re packed with goodies like pecans and chocolate chips.
Confession…i HATE photographing cookies. So I didn’t spend a lot of time doing it. Sorry, friends 🙂
So you’ll just have to settle for the recipe instead!
