Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Continuing my pumpkin kick, I am making these today.  I found the recipe at this fun site

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

2 c flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 tsp soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cherries, cut into chunks (or any dried fruit you want - I'm using cranberries)

Preheat oven to 350.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine flour, oats, soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.  Set aside.
Beat butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla.  Mix well.
Fold in chips and fruit.
Drop on baking sheet.  Bake for 12-14 minutes until light brown.
Cool for 2 minutes on sheet and transfer to cooling racks.

***You can make this all sorts of ways- with different nuts, chocolates, and fruits!!!
