Pumpkin Cream-Cheese Oatmeal Cookie

I developed this recipe in Victoria as we were waiting for our baby boy to be born. It was the end of August, but it felt cool outside – I was craving pumpkin spice. Bonus – these are Gluten Free!

  • 2 cup oat flour (or blend rolled oats for 10 seconds)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉.
  2. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix with a spatula. Using the spatula, press cream cheese into the dough so that there are no chunks.
