Which is why we’re excited to reveal a new recipe for fall baking: Pumpkin-Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies. We know these taste wonderful but trouble is — we don’t have a picture of them yet. We’d love to feature yours!

@Alex: Thanks for your comment. Our current photo display system shows the 8 most recently approved pictures at any time, so you may not see your photo on the recipe page. We're working to update this system so all photos will display. Rest assured all photos are saved in our database (I checked on yours specifically, and we've got it!).

Oops - I think I had the same issue that others had with uploading too many times due to the lag. My apologies if that is the case- but I have not received an e-mail confirming receipt- how long is the lag?

@Bridget: Thanks so much for your submission, and for letting us know the issue. I'm sorry you had that problem! We are busily working out a few kinks with our photo uploading system. Don't worry - we're keeping an eye out, and accepting cookie photos uploaded to "Customer Recipe Photos" and photos uploaded to the cookie gallery.

@A Humann: No worries, and thanks so much for your photos! You should receive an email shortly.

@Rose: Several folks have submitted more than one photo, so it's fine for you to submit another. Glad you liked the cookies!

@Charly: Thanks for your question. Pumpkin pie spice is a blend that typically contains cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice or cloves. You can buy it ready-mixed at the store or make your own! Here's a recipe that may help: http://www.food.com/library/pumpkin-pie-spice-173. Your garden pumpkins, as long as they are on the smaller side, should work for this recipe. Just use the same amount of cooked pumpkin flesh as you would canned pumpkin. Happy baking!

Last night my daughter made these Pumpkin-Cranberry oatmeal Cookies and they are very delicious and healthy too. It was hard to eat just one and we keep reaching for more for the rest of the evening.
I uploaded a photo and didn't see any response, hope it went through.
thanks for the recipes.

I tried to upload a photo but I have no idea if it made it or not. The cookies were delicious with a little more spice. Great recipes.

Submission Update Reminder:
Once your photo is approved on Whole Foods end, you will receive an email indicating such. However, your photos are not approved immediately and so there is often lag time between submission and acknowledgement. If your photo is approved, you will receive the confirmation email.
Thanks!

I have 2 sons (23 & 29): one bakes breads and one bakes pies. It's our newest traditions together, not only for the warmth in my kitchen but for the warmth and blessings it brings to my heart. We couldn't do it without 365 Everyday Value® Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and a new addition to try this year, Vegan Cane Sugar. Happy Thanksgiving Blessings to Whole Foods!!
