Ingredients:
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 15-oz. can pure pumpkin
1 cup olive oil
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup roasted salted pepitas
1/2 cup dried cherries
Instructions:
Heat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, pie spice, and salt.
Using an electric mixer, beat pumpkin, oil, sugar, and egg on medium to combine. Reduce speed to low; gradually incorporate flour mixture, then pepitas and cherries.
Scoop 16 mounds (about 1/3 cup each) onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 in. apart; flatten into disks. Bake until dark brown on bottoms, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
Make them ahead by storing the cookies in an airtight container up to 2 days or freezing them up to 2 weeks. Just reheat them in the toaster until crisp.
