If you make one cookie this fall - it has to be these!

As soon as October rolls around on the calendar, I feel like I can officially open a can of pumpkin and make my favorite cookies in the world!  I just love pumpkin chocolate cookies, and several years ago my sis-in-law, Aimee, gave me this recipe, which I think is the absolute best!  The recipe has 2 cups of oatmeal in it, which I believe is what makes them unique and gives them that little extra "oomph".  I made these cookies for the girls' soccer games a couple of weeks ago, and they got devoured.  I also made them for a treat for the primary activity day girls & they got eaten up again.  Only one girl refused to try them and believe me, I tried to convince her of how good they were (Annilee - if you're reading this - does this sound like anyone you know?) 

Trust me, these cookies are so, so yummy!  You just have to try them  -

Oh So Yummy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

3 sticks butter

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 t vanilla

16 oz can pumpkin

4 cups flour

2 t baking soda

1/2 t baking power

1/2 t nutmeg

1 t salt

2 t cinnamon

2 cups oatmeal

2 cups chocolate chips

I just do the usual mix the butter & sugar & add the rest of the wet ingredients. Then mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl & add them to the wet - add the oatmeal & chocolate chips at the end. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Hope you like them!
