- READY IN: 60 MINUTES
- MAKES 15 COOKIES
These pumpkin-cranberry cookies are a crowd pleaser at a party or an afternoon snack for the kids after game snack, so bake a double batch. These freeze well; reheat by baking at 350°F for 20 minutes. For very crispy cookies, bake them a few minutes longer.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 2 pinches sea salt
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup tahini
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups dried cranberries
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine cornmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt in a bowl.
- In another bowl, place pumpkin, maple syrup, and tahini and mix well. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix well. Add oats and cranberries and mix well.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet in about ¼-cup scoops, about 2 inches apart. Flatten the cookies a bit, so that they resemble thick discs (they won’t spread much at all during baking). Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and let cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
- Eat cookies immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
