Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies with Chocolate Chips

Need an easy recipe for your left over pumpkin? I did, so I threw what I had in a cookie crumb for these pumpkin oatmeal cookies. To keep everything from being too uniform in texture I used a combination of old fashion oats and quick cooking oats. The old fashion oats are soft while the quick cooking oats provide a bit of crunch along with the toasted almonds and toffee bits. Adding to that are mini chocolate chips to make these cookies twice as irresistible.

Like most of you, I’m on a pumpkin kick. This latest pumpkin caramel mousse recipe is turning out to be my favorite so far. I love the caramel flavor paired with the pumpkin and the texture is just right, light, smooth and full of flavor.

How do you decide what recipe is worthy when there’s a pumpkin shortage? Don’t start by sitting down and listing all your pumpkin recipes, unless you are prepared to be overwhelmed and frustrated by your inability to settle in on “the one”.

You go for it. Grab your bowl, measuring spoons and cups and dive right in, even if you have no ingredients for the crust. Did you notice? Yeah, I had nothing, not even graham crackers.

As it turns out, we didn’t miss having a crust at all in this pumpkin cheesecake recipe. The cheesecake is bursting with flavors, especially fall flavors. If you decide on making a crust, try using a gingersnap crust for added flavor.  Continue reading Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake with Bourbon Whip Cream
