Oatmeal Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s fall y’all and time to take advantage of all the pumpkin flavored <fill in the blank> until your heart is content.  I took advantage of a rare weekend with nothing scheduled to clean up the house, decorate for Halloween/Fall Harvest season, and of course, do a little baking with the ingredient of the season…pumpkin!  This was a new recipe for me, but it turned out great!  Definitely follow the directions to take out the cookies after ~ 10-12 minutes…they stay nice and soft that way.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
1½ c. brown sugar
¾ c. butter, softened
1 c. pumpkin puree
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1½ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. ground cloves
¼ tsp. nutmeg
2 c. quick oats
1 c. flour
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp salt
1½ c. semi sweet chocolate chips


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In large mixer bowl cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and beat. Add pumpkin and vanilla and mix.
In a separate bowl stir flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, salt and oatmeal together.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix together only until combined. If needed add a more flour one Tablespoon at a time until the you have a soft dough. Be careful not to over mix.
Add chocolate chips and mix to incorporate.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop cookies a little larger than 1 inch sizes. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Don't over bake the centers will be soft and will set as they cool.
Remove immediately from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
