This is a snack that’s lovely in the fall, but perfect any time of year. Seriously, why do pumpkin flavours all get lumped into a few short months when they’re delicious year round? One bite of these Pumpkin Cranberry Cookies and you’ll know exactly what I mean. And love Pumpkin don’t hesitate to try this Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal or this Pumpkin Bread,
These fall inspired cookies are naturally gluten-free and are a perfect nut-free healthy snack that’s entirely school safe. Made with natural sweetness they are a guilt free delight. They come together really quickly and are a perfect snack anytime of the day.
When I first started making these cookies I must have made a batch every week for a month or so. We just couldn’t get enough of them and it’s safe to say that I became addicted and the kids became slightly obsessed – and because they’re school free my wife brought them with her as well. These are really geared towards the fall but I’ll eat them any time of year.
So grab all these ingredients and whip together a batch of these Pumpkin Cranberry Cookies. Better make it a double batch – they won’t last – and they freeze beautifully!

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 F.
Combine the cornmeal, baking powder, spices and salt together in a medium bowl. Now add the pure pumpkin, maple syrup, and tahini into another and make sure it’s super-duper blended.
-
Mix together the wet and dry mixtures together until they’re well combined. It’s going to look like a bit pile of mess and, well, that’s sort of what it looks like.
Fold in the oats and cranberries and mix until it’s well combined.
-
In 1/4 cup scoops spread out the cookies onto silicon pans (or parchment paper). Flatten them out - they aren’t going to spread out too much on the sheets.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until they’ve got a little golden crisp on them - but watch that the bottoms don’t burn!
-
Let them cool on a rack for 10 minutes before smashing them into your mouth!
These store for a week in the fridge nicely, and freezer for at least two months - but they’ve never lasted that long so I don’t really know.

I made these! I was a little bit worried when I tasted the raw cookie dough. But I was pleasantly surprised after they baked! They are one of those things that grow on you and then it’s hard to stop eating them! I should add that I didn’t have any dried cranberries but I had leftover fresh cranberries that I had frozen after the holidays. I tossed a little bit of maple syrup on them and left them in the oven at 170° for a total of 10 to 12 hours. They were yummy in the cookies!
LOVE how you approached these with FRESH cranberries – soooooo good 🙂
Aren’t they surprisingly amazing??? I think I made these once a week for a month after I first nailed the recipe 🙂
