Pumpkin Trail Mix Cookies are the perfect fall cookie. Pumpkin, warm spices, oats, and autumnal trail mix add-ins come together in this tender, tasty cookie.
These Pumpkin Trail Mix Cookies are an update on a cookie I made often with my grandma when growing up. I’ve added some of my grown-up favorite trail mix additions, like pecans and pumpkin seeds, along with sweet bites from dried cranberries and chocolate chips. The added protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds, along with the fiber from the oats and pumpkin, almost make these cookies breakfast-worthy (almost, *wink*wink*).
And these cookies make a fairly large batch, making them perfect for sharing. Take them into the office, share with your neighbors, mix them up for a harvest party - they’re a hit everywhere they go! Pumpkin Trail Mix Cookies are sure to become your go-to seasonal cookie for autumn.
