Autumn Harvest Cookies

It’s an oatmeal raisin cookie, but with an autumn twist. … Pumpkin spice. It’s pumpkin spice.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened butter

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup white sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 teaspoon orange extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cream together butter and the brown and white sugars in a bowl until smooth. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and orange extract.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice; stir flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Add the rolled oats, walnuts and cranberries and mix thoroughly. Using a small ice cream scoop or teaspoon, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
