Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

If you haven't been to My Baking Addiction yet, I suggest you do.  She is always posting super yummy recipes and these cookies were one of her many fall themed recipes.  They are soft and yummy and taste unbelievable.

What you will need:

2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter; softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped (I used craisins and didn't shop them and they were spectacular!)

What to do:

Preheat oven to 350.  Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.  Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a medium bowl.  Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy.  Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract; mix well.  Add flour mixture; combine until all ingredients are  incorporated.  Fold in white chocolate chips and dried cherries.  Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets.  Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.  Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

*12 minutes was way too soon for my cookies, they were really not done in the middle.  I think more along the lines of 14-15 minutes.  My oven cooks hot too.*

Enjoy :)
