'Punkin' Cookies


Hi All! I'm back from a little hiatus. I had surgery in May and slacked on the blog while recuperating. However, I'm back and have some delicious things for you to try!

These "Punkin" cookies are so easy and really good. Plus, the recipe makes a lot!

Punkin Cookies
Adapted from somewhere...

Ingredients
2 c all purpose flour (you could sub 1 c whole wheat flour for those healthy folks)
1 1/3 c quick cooking oats
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 c (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 c brown sugar, packed
1 c granulated sugar
1 c pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay down parchment paper on your baking sheets.

Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Beat butter and both sugars in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin, egg, and vanilla; mix well. Add flour mixture, mix well. Stir in chocolate chips by hand. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto your prepared sheets. *To make sure my cookies are all the same size, I use a small ice cream scoop*

Bake for 14-16 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned and set in centers. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
