Oatmeal Ginger Cranberry Pistachio Cookies

Sharing is caring!

Fall is here!!! I have never looked forward to fall as much as I am this year. Maybe it’s because I can’t wait to celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving with our baby. I can’t wait to decorate the house, light up the fireplace, put on a cozy oversized sweater and drink and eat plenty of fall foods.

Lately, I’ve got the baking bug going on after seeing all the pumpkins already in stores and this weekend I couldn’t help, but try a few new recipes. I took old favorites and gave them a new twist. The weather certainly cooperated because it’s been rainy, cloudy and about 20-30 degrees lower all weekend. Normally, this type of weather is not really my favorite, but when you have a sick infant – little R is getting over a sinus infection – then it is just perfect. I got to fill the house with the smells of pumpkin spice and cozy up with my little one all weekend.

If you are also enjoying the beginning of fall, I want to share this Oatmeal Ginger Cranberry Pistachio Cookies recipe with you in case you are also craving a new recipe for the season.
