I adore just about anything with pumpkin in it. Pumpkin is just so good and there are so many amazing ways to use it! One of our favorite family pumpkin recipes is Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies. This recipe is so easy to make, even the kids can help make it! Emily loves to help me make these delicious cookies and now she’s so good at it, she can almost make them all by herself!

…and raisins. My kids had raided the raisin bin again so I only had 1/2 cup this time. Though I usually like to add a full cup because we love raisins in our cookies.

You can also use dried cranberries if you want to change it up even more.

      I think this is probably a better recipe than the pumpkin cookies I have tried before. They always come out too wet but the oatmeal would help I bet. They look tasty!

      I’ve been teaching my granddaughter Olivia how to cook simple things like scrambled eggs and toast (she is 4 years old) and she can do it pretty well on her own (with supervision at the stove, of course) I am going to try to make this cookies with her. She loves pumpkin.
