When it comes to fall baking, pumpkin cookies are a classic. We’re loving these Soft Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies (made with both chocolate and white chocolate chips) for an easy, fun fall dessert or the perfect treat for your next fall gathering! They’re also lightened-up, so they’re great for having on hand. These healthy cookies are:
- Easily made dairy-free by using vegan chocolate chips and vegan white chocolate chips.
- Can be made gluten-free by subbing the whole wheat flour with this 1-1 Gluten-Free Flour or oat flour.
- Made with vegan butter or coconut oil, but can also be made with regular butter if desired.
- Great for the entire family!

I read the list of ingredients and I have to admit the combination will make a super tasting cookie. These treats would be so good to have on hand when the grandsons stop by. They love their sweet treats but I don’t like giving them empty calories. Not so with these cookies. Yummy!
