  Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies These cookies check off all the boxes for me. They are soft, moist and a healthier option than most oatmeal cookie recipes. This recipe uses natural peanut butter, coconut oil in lieu of butter or vegetable oils and is flourless. It does contain a bit of sugar, but you can definitely substitute coconut sugar. While oats are naturally gluten free, they become contaminated if processed in the same facilities as wheat, rye and other grains. If you are keeping this recipe gluten free then make sure that the oats you purchase are "certified gluten-free". I like to use a small ice cream scoop to form the cookies. Use your fingers to lightly press down on the cookie batter when in the scoop, this way they will be firmer and will set better.  I hope you give these delicious cookies a try! They will be sure to become one of your favourites. Ingredients This recipe will yield 2 dozen cookies. 2 cups   rolled oats ½  cup sugar or coconut su

  Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies @mangia.con.elena I wish I could take the credit for these buttery and moist oatmeal cookies but my brother deserves the recognition for these. He has been telling me about these amazing cookies for a long time.  Now I understand what the fuss was about!

  Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies IG: @mangia.con.elena Do you love soft, cake like cookies? If the answer is yes then these pumpkin cookies are perfect cookies for you!  These cookies freeze exceptionally well but I am sure they will not make them to the freezer. Incredibly flavourful with a great crunch from the pecans, sweetness from the little morsels of chocolate and warmth from cinnamon and pumpkin. A great fall inspired treat for Thanksgiving or just because. Grab a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and get baking!  This recipe will yield about 24 cookies depending on the size that you prefer! We like them bigger because more to love!😁 Ingredients 🍪 1 cup of pumpkin puree (make sure it is puree and not pie filling) 🍪 1 cup of fine sugar 🍪 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil 🍪 1/2 tsp vanilla 🍪 1 large egg 🍪 2 cups flour 🍪 1.5  tsp of cinnamon  🍪 2 tsp of baking soda 🍪 a pinch of salt 🍪 1 tsp milk (I used almond but any would work) 🍪 1 tsp baking powder 🍪1 cup chocolat
