Pumpkin Oatmeal Chippy Cookies

Pumpkin Oatmeal Chippy Cookies

15 oz can of pumpkin (about 1 3/4 cups of fresh cooked pumpkin)
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups uncooked oats
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
3 sticks of butter (1 1/2 c)
2 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2+ cups of chocolate chips, as desired

Mix dry ingredients and set aside: flour, oats, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. In a standing mixer, cream butter and slowly add in sugar until well incorporated. Add in the vanilla and egg next. When they are well mixed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the pumpkin until it's all well mixed in. Add chocolate chips in last.

This is a large batch of cookies and are cake-like in consistency. The batter is also very soft so they need to be dropped by the spoonfuls on a cookie sheet or use a cookie scoop. Small cookies take about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Larger cookies take about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. I was able to make about 7-8 dozen of larger cookies.

Ohhhhhh sooooooo good!
