Cookies for breakfast? Yes, please! These Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies are delicious served with a piping mug of coffee or tea.

Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies

Though you could serve them for dessert, I think of them as a breakfast cookie because of their texture. They are soft and have the texture of a muffin.

I packed them full of good stuff – pumpkin, obviously, as well as chopped pecans and dried cranberries.

Raisins would work well too if you wanted to switch out the cranberries. Both have a similar texture.

And talk about easy to make! You can easily whip up a batch in a matter of 20 minutes. They bake in a mere 10 to 12 minutes and come out perfectly golden.

I made mine on the larger side so there’s more to enjoy. I love big cookies.
