These cranberry pumpkin cookies are one of my favorite autumn treats to bake when I want something festive but not too fussy. The pumpkin puree keeps them wonderfully moist and tender, plus it's loaded with vitamin A which is great for your skin and eyes. What I love most is how quick they come together, ready to bake in just 20 minutes, and they only need 15 minutes in the oven. The tart cranberries and bright orange zest give each bite a refreshing citrus note that balances the warm spices beautifully. They're perfect for weeknight baking or bringing to gatherings, and they won't break the bank since most of these ingredients are pantry staples.
