Ingredients
•
4 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 cups old-fashioned oats
•
2 teaspoons baking soda
•
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
•
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
2
Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
3
Cream butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Gradually add brown and white sugars; beat until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with pumpkin, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
4
Drop medium spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets and spread into pumpkin shapes.

Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are slightly firm and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes; do not overbake. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
