Step 1: Making the cookie dough

Making the cookie dough

1) Combine flour, oats, soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
2) Cream butter with sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
3) Alternate additions of dry ingredients and pumpkin, mixing after each addition.
4) Stir in chips.
5) For each cookie, drop 1/4 c. dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
6) Bake at 350 F for 20-25 min.

  • 4 c. unsifted all-purpose flour
  • 2 c. oatmeal
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 12 oz (2 c.) chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 can (16 oz.) solid pack pumpkin

Notes

These cookies can withstand a reduction of the amount of sugar if you wish or have the amount of butter replaced with applesauce if you wish for a more nutritious cookie. They freeze well.
