I also didn't use the cranberries and didn't top with the pecan halves either, still.... the fam went nuts over 'em. Pardon the pun. DH (aka the pumpkin fiend) says an especial, "thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

These were GREAT!!!! I love the subtle pumpkin flavor and the spice in them. I didnt use the cranberries, but did use the pecans and they were great. I'm posting a picture of these, note that I made mine HUGE! Thanks for a wonderful keeper recipe, Dana!!!

These were great!! Made them just as the recipe states with the omission of the pecans only because I didn't have any...so I used walnuts. I can't tell you how they keep because they were gone that same night!! These are definitely a good cookie!! Thanks!

Dana, these were very quick to make and didn't require a lot of prep before-hand. I didn't use the cranberries either...they were fantasic as is. Thank you..we were happy (and full)! I'll try the berries next time. Although, I can't see that they would be anymore delicious. Jill

Dana, these cookies were great! I made them with the cranberries and they were gone! I made a second batch without cranberries, but added raisins, and they too disappeared! Thanks for such a good recipe!

Dana, these cookies taste great! And since I LOVE dried cranberries, I certainly added them! I'll hang onto this recipe so I can make them again in October...when I have leftover canned pumpkin from making my Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. Thanks for posting this cookie recipe! M&Mers

Was looking for a way to use up some pumpkin and decided these. A very nice recipe, but since my DH doesn't like dried cranberries, I left them out and something was definitely lacking. So I frosted them with cinnamon frosting (4 oz. cream cheese, 2 T. butter, and a 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon with conf. sugar to the rights consistency) and now they are DEVINE!! I used my 1T. scoop and got 45 cookies. Thank you!!

These were very soft and soooooo tasty. I used the cranberries and nuts. Both were great. Thanks for posting.

The recipe sounded so good, I decided to make a batch to take to my granddaughter's pre-school Thanksgiving party tomorrow. She "helped" me. When it was time for a taste, she said "I don't think I want to finish this cookie". I didn't like them either. They burned at 375 degrees, were too cakey and too bland despite the spices. Obviously weren't pleasing to the palate of a 4 year old. Guess I should stick to choc chip for the younger set, huh?

1 cup of butter is about 250grams I wasn't sure if the canned pumpkin is sweeted (we don't have it here in Australia) so I used 1 cup of sweetened mashed pumpkin. I found the ones that were a little over-cooked tasted the best. Great recipe!
