We're well into autumn, and you know what that means: cranberry and pumpkin desserts!
Turn the oven up to 375 F. While that's heating up, grease the cookie sheets.
In a big mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until it becomes a light and fluffy mixture, then beat in the vanilla, egg and pumpkin puree. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir all of that into the mix until it's well blended. Cut the cranberries in half and stir them into the mix along with the orange zest and walnuts. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mix onto the prepped cookie sheets.
Bake the sheets for 10 to 12 minutes.
