I’m betting that many of you have felt my adoration for fall in my recent posts and I am also guessing that many of you feel the same way. I mean really, what’s not to love about fall baking? If you are not as pumped about fall baking as I am, these incredible Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies will make you a fall baking lover in no time.
Using canned pumpkin excites me the most about fall baking, so you can imagine my utter dismay when I learned that there is possibly another pumpkin shortage this year.
Luckily I am randomly frugal and picked up a stockpile of canned pumpkin that was on sale last year after Thanksgiving. Yes, I said randomly frugal, meaning I have no qualms about shelling out the big bucks for fabulous boots and bags, but I clip coupons and refuse to pay over a dollar for toothpaste or shaving cream. Random, right?
After hearing of people hawking canned pumpkin on EBay, I decided to do a little research. Turns out, Libby is certain that there will be an ample supply of pumpkin puree this holiday season. Crisis averted…we can all take a deep breath, quit trolling EBay for pumpkin bargains and get into the kitchen to get our pumpkin oatmeal cookies on!
PUMPKIN SHORTAGE UPDATE 9/17/10: After quite a few comments and reader emails regarding the aforementioned pumpkin shortage, I decided to call Nestle {Libby Pumpkin} to get the details. I was informed that although crop volume is less than desirable due to weather conditions, they are hopeful that the supply will meet the demand. They informed me that Libby Pumpkin will be hitting the shelves at your local super markets as soon as the last week in September.
This Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie recipe is simple and really packs some amazing pumpkin flavor. The addition of the white chocolate chips and dried cherries adds a depth of flavor and texture to an already stellar pumpkin oatmeal cookie. These are perfect in all the ways an oatmeal cookie should be; they’re moist, chewy, and full of flavor from the aromatic autumnal spices. In fact, my boss, Mike emailed me about these cookies stating, “These are quite possibly the best cookies…ever.” If you give these Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies a try, definitely stop back and let us know if you love them as much as we do! Have a fabulous day and thanks so much for reading.
Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
Yield: 48 cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter; softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar

1 cup dried cherries; roughly choppedDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line your baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
2. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt in medium bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Add pumpkin, egg and vanilla extract; mix well. Add flour mixture; combine until all ingredients are incorporated. Fold in white chocolate chips and dried cherries.
4. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets.

Haha we did the same thing! We have pumpkin stocked in the pantry…we couldn’t risk being without it! These cookies look awesome…white chocolate and dried cherries are so delicious together and adding pumpkin to anything is fine with us!
This recipe was one offered on the Cookie Carnival Challenge. I made a few changes, but added a link back to your page and gave you credit for the original recipe. Good cookie!
This looks awesome! Can’t wait to try it out!
You know, I have not been able to find canned pumpkin in forever. I had one can that I bought a long time ago and used it to make a pumpkin pie last week. I sure hope the stores start stocking it soon! I love baking in the fall.
Wonderful use of pumpkin. I recently made a large batch of pumpkin puree and made a lot of mini pies. These cookies sound so good for the rest of the batch. Thank you, thank you!
I am so ready to bake all things pumpkin! These cookies look amazing, love the addition of the white chocolate chips, I am going to have to give these a try!
These sound so amazing! Great photos, too – I’m really getting that fall vibe.
I’m not going to lie – I went into a slight panic attack when you first said there might be a pumpkin shortage. Thank goodness for Libby setting us straight.
Cookies look delish!! I never would have thought to put white chocolate with the pumpkin.
I am definitely baking these! I love pumpkin! I *just* got a KitchenAid mixer today for my birthday, and this could be the recipe that christens it! Thanks!
How did Libby’s set you straight. What did they tell you?
Debbie-
I just personally spoke with Nestle re: the pumpkin shortage; check out the update here.

I am all about pumpkin! I’d heard rumors of a pumpkin shortage so I’m so glad you dispelled them! Man do these cookies look good. I mean, pumpkin and white chocolate. No contest.
Sounds yummy! I think I’d swap the white chocolate for dark or semi-sweet, but I’m a chocoholic kind of gal – I love your description of yourself as randomly frugal – it’s so me too!
Hey this looks soo goooood! I love the combination of white chocolate and cherries. This sounds like something i could eat 100 of sitting on the sofa witha nice cup of tea. Gorgeous!
These look absolutely perfect! I want them nowwwwww.
omg these are incredible. Love them. Yum
I looked on ebay for pumpkin too…way to expensive for a can of pumpkin! I check the stores every time I’m there.
I heard that the pumpkin supply is supposed to be great this year due to the great weather we’ve had, at least in the northeast. They’re taking forever to stock the stores with it, I just may buy a sugar pumpkin and cook up some puree myself, these cookies look so good!
Oh happiness! These cookies look so good! LOVE that you have oatmeal, pumpkin, white chocolate chips AND dried cherries in the recipe….full of yumminess! Fun to hear that your boss thought these were the “best cookies ever”! That must have made you day.
My local grocery stores have signs up that state there is a pumpkin shortage.
I just personally spoke with Nestle re: the pumpkin shortage; check out the update here.
Yum! What a great Fall comfort cookie! Looks so good! Great photos!
Will have to try these! I already substitute raisins in oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries, mostly cause I love the color but the white chocolate too…yes, very definitely qualifies for a YUM!
Pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin! So yummy! These look great, im so giving them a try!

These sound scrumptious–a must try!
These cookies sound incredible, and thank you for the info on the non-shortage! I was worried it would be difficult to find pumpkin again this year.
Oh thank you for the information about the pumpkin shortage. I have searched all week for pumpkin– five stores now in the Baltimore area and no luck. I was getting worried and now I have hope, but the planned breakfast-for-dinner pumpkin pancakes last night had to be plain.
I love that you called the company to make sure there would be enough pumpkin to go around
These look great! I’m getting nervous about going back to TX and not finding any pumpkin!?
Think I’ve got 3 cans left – hardly a stockpile, but I bought more than I needed last year, even though there was no shortage in my area. Guarding them carefully, just in case!
Bookmarking this recipe – looks like exactly the moist and chewy I love in an oatmeal cookie!
oooh these sound wonderful. I think I would sub dried cranberries for the cherries. Thanks for clearing up the pumpkin shortage mystery–you’ve put my mind at ease!
I think the pumpkin shortage was last year – hopefully, as you mentioned in the update, all will be well this season! However, in the meantime, it’s SUPER easy to make pumpkin puree. Butternut squashes taste almost exactly the same and are already out at my supermarket – just cut one in half (leave the skin on), scoop out the seeds, rub the flesh with a little bit of cooking oil, and place flesh side down on a cookie sheet. Roast at a good high temp (400-425) until the squash is very soft (45 mins to an hour). Scoop the flesh out of the skins and mash and voila – very easy puree, enough to make a batch of cookies, a pie, or pumpkin cinnamon rolls!
They look beautiful! I’m so happy to hear about the pumpkin! Definatley making these soon!
I love the term “randomly frugal”! I may have to borrow it. And I’m soo glad to know I’m not the only one who does stuff like that!
More importantly….these look like the perfect fall cookies! Thanks for sharing.
As soon as I can get my hands on some canned pumpkin I am makin these cookies. They may turn into my new favorite way to enjoy pumpkin
I’m frugal in the same way. I choose to believe that in the long run I’m saving more money by only buying toilet paper when its on sale than by waiting for shoes to go on sale (what if they run out of my size!?)
These cookies look amazing. I’ve got some cinnamon chips that have been waiting for a home, and I think they just found one. Thanks!
Where have I been? I never even knew there was a pumpkin shortage. I had no trouble finding it last year, and I still have some left because I also “stock up” when I find things on sale. I love the addition of white chocolate and cherries in these! They sound yummy.
Dried sour cherries, or sweet cherries? I too love the term “randomly frugal” and wish I had been with cans of pumpkin, I just opened my last can from last year…ohdearohmeohmy.
I used sweet cherries, but I think sour cherries would be amazingly delicious!
I hadn’t even heard about the shortage
I love making pumpkin pancakes though, might have to see if I can find some.
These look great Jamie! Do you think you could substitute the pumpkin for sweet potatoe?? I think I’ll try it!
These look like the perfect cookie for a fall bake sale. I’m definitely going to try these out.
I can’t wait to try these, thinking of adding toasted pecans too! Thanks for the pumpkin update
This recipe looks fantastic! I am printing it now. FYI, my Aldi in Central Fl had tons of canned pumpkin. I think the price was .89 a can!!! I bought a bunch!
This looks awesome! I’m enjoying your early fall recipes very much!
Just pulled these out of the oven! (No shortage of pumpkin at my store, BTW). Can I gush? Wow!! So good! I plated up some and took them immediately to my neighbor! Thanks for the recipe! I’ll definitely make more to use up the rest of the can of pumpkin that I have left. (I could only find big cans.)
Thank you very much for this recipe!! I made it today with some extra pumpkin I had they are soo yummy and soft! I ended up cutting out the dried fruit and using milk chocolate chips instead of white but they were still yummy! I also took a few and used up some extra cream cheese frosting and made Whoopie Pies!! My husband took most of them to church to share with the worship band he plays with and they loved it! Thank you again for all the wonderful recipes!!!
If the pumpkin shortage does happen to hit your area, you can substitute sweet potato in a pinch. We do it all the time b/c my husband is allergic to pumpkin! I’ve had success in every recipe we’ve tried.
First, these look so good! Anything with pumpkin can only go well, and I love the cranberries and white chocolate chips. Divine! Second, I’m so glad I haven’t been losing my mind! I’ve been wondering why I couldn’t find any canned pumpkin at the store…I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
K, I’m totally lame. They’re dried *cherries* NOT cranberries…sorry!
Wow, I love pumpkin anything, and the combination with the cranberries and oats, sounds so good! Can’t wait to try these!
Oops, I just realized they’re cherries…that sounds even better! Yum!!!
Huh. This blog is turning out to be educational in so many ways! I hadn’t heard a thing about the pumpkin shortage, but it’s good to know that everything should be okay. Because, you know, you just have to have pumpkin pie in the fall.
And I have to say that I’ve never tried pumpkin and oatmeal together, but these look too good not to try out.
Thanks for sharing!
These cookies look so great! I love pumpkin and I”m glad to hear that Libby’s will be returning to the store shelves this year. Can’t wait to make these.
I made these cookies. They were delicious. They were very moist. I put them in a container and they stuck together. Can you tell me why?
Thanks for sharing all the Libby info. I love this pumpkin anything and pumpkin paired with cranberries and white chocolate chip-wow!!!
Made these yesterday!! They are wonderful, although I modified it a little. I didn’t use the white chocolate chips and I used dried cranberries instead!! Excellent combination. Very moist, everyone loved them!!
These cookies look so pretty and I bet they taste amazing. I love anything pumpkin flavored. The addition of dried cherries sounds delicious!
So glad that the pumpkin shortage won’t keep us all from getting a taste of a fall staple! I cannot wait to try these cookies – I’ve used pumpkin in a lot of ways but never successfully in cookie so I have high hopes for this one!
good cookie recepy, gotta try it soon
<3 pumpkin. Does it taste like pumkin pie oatmeal?:)
These sound like a must try. Most pumpkin cookies are not chewy. If you don’t mind, I may include a version of these in my 12 weeks of Christmas cookies posts.
These sound amazing, and so perfect for fall! I must try these cookies, and soon!
You’re boss, Mike, is a really smart man! I finally made these last night….they’re amazing! Not only are they an ideal fall cookie, they’re the best cookies I’ve tasted in quite a while!
This are great………I had everything, but the cherries. Made them anyway, delish! As I just had two. Mine turn out sort of cake like and even better the day after. Also, really good crumbled up in your morning oatmeal!
Okay. I’m off to find pumpkin so I can make these cookies as soon as possible! Thanks for sharing!
have just baked a batch of these yummies. Thank you very much for the recepy! Really tastes like fall
i made these cookies last night and oh my gosh they were a hit! i only have a few left!! my friends loved them all wanted the recipe. when i made it i subsituted 1 of the cups of flour with wheat flour and instead of granulated sugar i used splenda. I also added some mini semi sweet chocolate chips
These look really great! I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate chips though. Do you think these would taste good with butterscotch chips added, too?
I just made these and did half with white chips, half with butterscotch chips. Like I said, I don’t usually like white chocolate chips, but both batches turned out really, really good! Pumpkin cookies tend to be really cakey, but the consistency of these is more cookie-like. They’re so good! I can’t tell which chip version I like best. Thanks so much for this recipe!
I made these last friday for a open house- HUGE HIT! I used dried cranberries, white chocolate chips and carmelized pecans bits….people where fighting over the last few!
i have these in my oven right now and my house smells amazing! i used dried cranberries instead of cherries for more of an autumn flavor, and i may or may not have given myself a tummy ache while sampling the cookie dough.
i’m sending these to work with my husband tomorrow – boy are his co-workers lucky! 
Wow – those look fantastic! Oatmeal and pumpkin, 2 of my favorite things! Must try these…
I tried this recipe this weekend… these cookies are DIVINE. Thanks so much for sharing this. These are my new favorite cookies!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe!
OMG! I JUST made these… batter tasted fantastic… watched over the oven like a hawk to try them fresh out of the oven – and OMG me and my fiance’ just closed our eyes and enjoyed ever bite! Thanks for the share, this is definitely my new fall cookie! …p.s. I used cranberry instead of cherry though
hugs! Kim @ Frost Me!
Just made a slightly modified version of these and OOOOO MMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGG! Thank you for this glorious recipe!!
I made these last night – they are delicious! They are so soft and flavorful. Thanks for sharing!
I made these the other day and they were incredible. The pumpkin flavor was delicious and even though pumpkin cookies usually come out cake-like, these were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside the night I made them. However, as they cooled they did become more cake-like and actually started falling apart when they were picked up. Should I add another egg next time? What do you think?
Made these cookies today and they turned out great! Super chewy (even stick together a bit in the container), but the fall flavors are delightful! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
You weren’t kidding — these are the best cookies I’ve baked in recent memory! Thanks so much for sharing.
Made these cookies over the weekend and they are getting rave reviews! Thanks for the great recipe.
Your boss was right…quite possibly the best cookies EVER! Wow. I am usually not big on spice cookies (or really anything other than chocolate in my sweets), but these are to die for. Two thumbs up! I substituted Craisins for the cherries, and I added slivered almonds because I had some on had. The almonds gave it a nice crunch.
I doubled the pumpkin and halved the butter for a (slightly) healthier and even more pumpkin-ey cookie. Delicious!!
My family made these cookies and we loved the taste! We did fee that they were a bit thin/flat even with the chips and cherries. Next time we will add more oats and/or flour to make them heartier and a little more toothsome. Thanks for a great recipe!
I made these over the weekend and my entire family loved them. My kids hate raisins and craisins so I wasn’t sure if they would go for dried cherries. Inexplicably, they loved them! 16 year old son said the white chocolate chips made them. I think the oatmeal made them. Delish.
These cookies look great, especially with the oatmeal ! I bought a “boat load” of pumpkin when it finally arrived on the shelves a few weeks ago:) So happy! Hooray for all things pumpkin!
I had watched a video about the shortage on the Libby’s website awhile ago. I actually had quite a few cans stored from last year, but our Vet told us to put our black lab on a diet and supplement her food with pumpkin, so we had exhausted our supply (so happy to have it replenished). Our lab is now looking good and doesn’t need anymore pumpkin, but she sure loved it!
These have fast become one of my favorite cookies to make, and eat! Even my dad, who is a die-hard lover of his aunt’s oatmeal cookies keeps asking me when am I going to make them again! I made them the first time, just like the recipe posted, but them I started to experiment… Dried chopped apricots, pecans, sans any type of “chocolate chips”…. yuummy… Love our blog! Thank you for so many great recipes and ideas!!
I made this cookies tonight and followed the recipe exactly. DELICIOUS. I’m blown away at how many the recipe yields as well. I filled an entire cookie tin and then some!
I’m excited to bring them into work and to a Halloween party this weekend. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
Made these yesterday and they are amazing. I’m not a big fan of white chocolate but I am a huge fan of oatmeal and pumpkin! I left out the white choc chips and the cherries, and added butterscotch chips. These cookies are moist and delicious. A perfect breakfast with a cup of tea
I made these cookies and got rave reviews! So delicious! Everyone is requesting your recipe. I am making another batch today!
Okay, so just made these and they are awesome! I went to reach for my Vanilla Extract and had six bottles of extracts and guess what? None of them Vanilla….hmmm, what to do, what all good cooks do…improvise. I chose Orange Extract and WOW~ I don’t know that I will even try Vanilla next time I make these, and, oh yes, there will be a next time!!
Also, I had some baked, salted pumpkin seeds on hand that I garnish my Pumpkin and Butternut Squash soup with, so I added a handful of those. A couple of cookes and a good cup of coffee or tea and you have a meal! C’mon, once and a while a cookie meal is ok!! 
Thanks so much for the recipe!
These cookies were SO GOOD! I brought them to work, and people who didn’t even like pumpkin thought they were great.
I have made these twice now and taken them to work and to church. People went nuts for them and everyone wanted the recipe. The only substitution I made was using dried cranberries rather then dried cherries. Delicious!
I just made this recipe and, as my husband says–”dang, that’s tasty”.
I made it with half white flour and half whole wheat flour.
Instead of white chocolate chips, I put in chopped walnuts and dried cranberries with a bit of lemon zest to cut the sweetness. Excellent cookie that I will make again! I might even add a bit of peanut butter to this
approximately 135 calories per cookie (48 cookies) for those wondering. Thanks for the recipe! These look amazing!
These cookies look fabulous! I love oatmeal cookies and I love baking with pumpkin, so these are sure to be great. I will be picking up some pumpkin puree when I’m next out shopping to make these.
These cookies are absolutely delicious!! My granddaughter baked them for a family gathering yesterday, and I LOVED them. I’m going to bake some today for some friends that I visit. WONDERFUL!!
Made these last night with cranberries and they were DELICIOUS!! Thank you for sharing your recipe! This one is definitely a keeper!!
Just made these for the first time last night (honey instead of sugar, mostly fresh ground whole wheat flour and added chopped pecans). They are AWESOME! New favorite cookie for autumn baking! Thanks.
These just came out of the oven and I couldn’t wait till they cooled to sample. They are really good. I used half whole wheat flour and added some ground flax and bran, as well as cut out all the white sugar and added 2 mashed banana, some cocnut and used dried cranberries. Very Yummmy!
I just made these cookies last night and I can confirm they are FANTASTIC. Soft, slightly chewy, pumpkiny, and chock filled with chocolate chip goodness!
Thanks for the recipe!
I just made these tonight and they turned out great! I used craisins instead of cherries. They are so soft and chewy, and the recipe made 51 nice-sized cookies (I baked them for 13 minutes). Thanks for this great recipe!
I’m excited to make these for a holiday cookie exchange, but I am curious as to if you can freeze them and how to keep them longer than 3 days in a container?
I’m a newbie baker…a little help or suggestions please
Sara-
I have never frozen these cookies, but I think they would be fine! I hope you enjoy them!
-Jamie
Made these tonight (substituted cranberries for the cherries) and at first I thought the dough was a little wet but I went ahead and baked a batch and they were perfect! Absolutely delicious with such an incredible smell. Thanks & happy holidays!
These cookies were great! I couldn’t believe how flavorful they were – and an easy recipe! I used dried cranberries and butterscotch chips for a little switch up, and they turned out great. My office will thank me at our holiday potluck tomorrow
I changed a few things… I swapped the flour and oats amount and a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice, instead of cherries, cranberries and almonds chopped up, instead of white, I used semi-chocolate and marshmallows . They came out great and moist. I doubled the recipe and made bars as well as cookies.
I made these this past weekend and substituted the dried cherries for dried cranberries. They were a huge hit! The perfect Sunday morning cookie.
These are AWESOME! I only used 1 1/4 sticks of butter, and used a whole can of pumpkin, to make it a bit healthier (and so I didn’t waste the rest of the pumpkin). I also added an extra egg and some coconut, and it was delicious.
omg these look delicious! So pretty too! I NEED TO MAKE THEM RIGHT NOW!:D
Made these for the kid’s lunch boxes. Delicious! I did change a few things…added extra pumpkin spices, added nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon or less. Added fresh grated Ginger, only used 1 stick of butter and replaced the second stick with same amount of applesauce. Instead of chocolate chips I addred granola just before spooning onto cookie sheet, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, raisins and dried cherries. Awesome; and the kids love them.

MMMMmmm these were so good. I made them with roast pumpkin and dried cranberries and they turned out perfect. They disappeared pretty quickly though so I might have to make them again soon ^^

THANK YOU! I saw this recipe on Pinterest and just had to try it! Love the autumn flavors – I added walnuts and used dried cherries. I also used *a tad* more white chocolate chips. I posted my version (crediting you) on my blog: http://pinterestexperiment.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/recipe-oatmeal-pumpkin-cookies-with-white-chocolate-chips-dried-cherries-walnuts
I also saw this on Pinterest, and I had to check it out. I always love a good cookie recipe, and these are great to enjoy with a cup of coffee. Perfect fall snack!
In the event there is another pumpkin shortage, I have made similar cookies in the past using pumpkin flavor Jell-O pudding and removing the granulated sugar. It gives the same creamy, pumpkin flavor.
I have made these cookies yesterday and they are good for most part. They would be much better without chocolate chips. The taste of chocolate distracts from the wonderful taste of cookies. This is one case when less is more. I aslo substituted one cup of regular flour for whole grain pastry flour and used Splenda for sugar. They turned out GREAT. I will definitely make them again, but wothout the chocolate.

Swoon! I made these this weekend (halved the recipe and substituted an additional 1/4 cup of pumpkin for the 1 egg called for). Oh my sweet Lord, these have possibly become my new favorite cookie. So moist, so chewy, and so flavorful! Plus, the few that made it past the first day became even more fragrant and moist overnight. Thank you!

How do I adjust a cookie recipe without oatmeal and chocolate chips? Can I add a half of evaporated cane sugar and a half of brown sugar instead of one cup of brown sugar? How much should I add walnuts to substitute chocolate chips?
Thanks
I just got all of these cooled and out of the oven. My husband has several buddies over tonight and they all have commented that they’re amazing! They all think I’m a great baker now, too bad it’s just a great recipe! Thanks so much for sharing this!

I was SO excited to make these and after a HUGE grocery shopping trip, I came home to realize that the Pumpkin I THOUGHT I had in the pantry was NOT there:( So, I changed the recipe a bit and thought it would be fun to share:)
Surprise….Banana Split Cookies!
Same ingredients, minus the pumpkin, pumpkin spice and white chocolate chips
Added 2 bananas, another 3/4-1c oatmeal, milk chocolate chips (keep the cherries).
Used cranberries instead of cherries….yummy!!
Oh my GOODNESS these are delicious!!! So soft and fluffy in the middle, chewy around the edges, and the white chocolate and cherries work PERFECTLY together!! I can’t wait to show these off tomorrow to my fiance’s family
Also made a batch with dark chocolate chips instead of the white. We’ll see how many cookies actually make it to Granny’s house tomorrow…
