    So many amazing bloggers to get to know! And because it's Monday we need COOKIES! Pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, to be exact!

    I love all things pumpkin chocolate chip, but skipping the box of cake mix and making homemade cookies is what's setting this recipe apart from all the others. The addition of oats makes them have such a perfect texture, too. They are still very light and soft like other pumpkin chocolate chip cookies but they are a step above. If you are feeling extra domestic, you can make homemade pumpkin purée (cook the pumpkins in the slow cooker!), just be sure to let the homemade purée sit for an hour or so in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to let some of its juice run out; it tends to be wetter than commercially canned pumpkin.

    Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies ditch the cake mix because a little more effort always tastes better!

    Pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat to take to your next fall gathering! I'm prepping for a giant birthday party this weekend for my soon to be 6-year-old and these are on my list to make. They are always a crowd pleaser. Imperial Sugar sent me a big ol' box of granulated sugar to work with and you know I'm going to use all of it by the end of the month. #bakersgonnabake

    Description

    Pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat to take to your next Fall gathering. Full of Autumn flavors, oats and pumpkin this is one delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup butter, softened
    • ¾ cup Imperial brown sugar
    • ¾ cup Imperial granulated sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup old fashioned oats
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 cup canned pumpkin (or well strained fresh pumpkin)
    • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (I like semi-sweet or extra dark)

    Instructions

    1. In a medium bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer beat together the butter and sugar until well light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well to combine.
    2. Add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well. Add the pumpkin and stir to combine. Add the chocolate chip and stir until just incorporated.
    3. Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto a parchment or baking mat lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes (I like the 14 minute cookies and my kids liked the softer 12 minute cookies...). Store extras covered at room temperature.
