Description

Extra chewy and soft, these pumpkin cookies with oats and chocolate chips are perfect for a big fall party.

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
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin (such as Libby's®)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

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.
5 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.
