Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all purpose flour 
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour 
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 
  • 3 tablespoons almond butter 
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree 
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar 
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup 
  • 1 large egg 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 1 cup quick oats 
  • 2 cup chocolate chips 
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries 
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds 
Instructions:  In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.  In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter, almond butter, pumpkin, granulated sugar, brown sugar and maple syrup until creamy and well combined.  Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined.  Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in dry ingredients until almost combined.  Add oats, chocolate chips, cranberries and almonds and mix until just combined.  Chill dough for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets, spacing about an inch apart.  Bake 12-14 minutes, or until light golden brown on top.  Cool 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.

Makes a little over a dozen cookies, depending on how large you shape them

  2. Really enjoy reading your posts, just read the one about Savannah. There's something very cosy about reading about your American baking, especially in Autumn or Winter.

  6. Haha, I love the phrase "casual cookies". I may steal that from you! ;) These sounds delicious though and I think almond butter is the bees knees. It's that nutty flavor...yummmmm!

  7. Seems like a wonderful combination of flavors. Makes me wonder how many great recipes you've created that never made it to the blog!

    Cashew doesn't look like he's sorry. Then again, he's smart to be hanging around the kitchen if you've been baking up a storm. :)
