Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well integrated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts (if using).
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough and form it into a ball. Flatten it slightly to create a cookie shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing cookies about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the center is still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
