- In a separate bowl, add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin chai spices together and whisk, set aside.
- Using mixer, cream the butter, and sugars together, then add in the vanilla, pumpkin puree, molasses and mix well.
- Add in the dry flour/oat mixture to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and cranberries and set in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place parchment paper onto large baking sheet or two.
- Using a 1/4 cup scoop, put 6 cookies on each baking sheet and bake 15 - 16 minutes.
- Transfer cookies from oven when done and let set for 5 minutes before transferring to baking rack.

Notes
- Using Nielsen Massey Coffee extract in these with the Pumpkin Chai spices and chocolate really takes them to another level! YUM!
- Using old-fashioned rolled oats will make them more chewier, I used quick oats, which makes them not as chewy as the rolled oats would be, but either one used would be delightful.
