Can You Freeze Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
You can freeze these cookies. What I do is bake them all up, and then allow the cookies to cool down on the cooling rack. Then you will transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container. Your pumpkin cookies will store in the freezer for up to three months.
Can I Swap Raisins for Chocolate Chips
Yes, you can easily swap the raisins for chocolate chips if you are not a raisin fan. I personally love oatmeal raisin cookies but I also love the chocolate chip version. So feel free to do whichever you prefer.
If you want you can even use a sugar-free chocolate chip to use in the recipe.
Pumpkin Puree vs Pumpkin Pie Mix
Here is the thing, this recipe needs to be pumpkin puree. If you were to buy a pumpkin pie mix it will not work, as other ingredients are in the mix and you need just puree. So look for pumpkin puree canned, or make your own puree to measure and use in this pumpkin cookie recipe.
Can You Use Quick Oats in this Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie Recipe
You need to use rolled oats or old fashioned oats in this recipe. Quick oats are more small flakes of oats where old fashioned is heartier pieces. That is going to give you a nice chew to these cookies and bring the recipe together nicely. So I recommend buying rolled oats instead of a quick oat.

Hello!
The Pumpkin cookies sound really good, but I'm not seeing the recipe anywhere. The only recipe on this page is one for Almond Holiday Joy Bites, does anyone know whats going on?
Thanks for looking into it:)
Oh no! The recipe was transferred from another site of ours that we are closing down. We plan to consolidate. I guess something went wacky. Thanks so much for the heads up! I will get that taken care of.
That sounds really good. I love pumpkin cookies but never thought about adding oatmeal and raisins.
