I LOVE Fall! I am obsessed with anything Pumpkin Spice. Coffee. Cake. Cookies. Pie. Pancakes. I have been searching Pinterest daily for Pumpkin related recipes, and had the chance two nights ago to make Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies.

Not only are they low fat, but they are chewy and delicious. They taste like pumpkin pie in a cookie! Luca had 4 the first day I made them! Even Marco said, “Wow these ARE really good” as if he assumed they wouldn’t be! He isn’t a huge fan of my obsession with Fall…but that’s another story.

They are super easy to make, and so so delicious!

Due to the huge amount of oatmeal in them I also deemed them a “breakfast cookie” and had two with my coffee yesterday morning! It was awesome! :)

Enjoy!
