Here’s another pumpkin recipe for ya! These cookies are so easy to throw together with just a few pantry ingredients – mostly pureed pumpkin and rolled oats. They’re moist, chewy, and not-too-sweet. Feel free to substitute the spices with two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, like the one sold at Trader Joe’s. A couple cookies would make the perfect afternoon snack or easy breakfast, especially paired with some Greek yogurt or a tablespoon of peanut butter.
