• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking soda

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.

Step 2

Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.

Step 3

Cream butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Gradually add brown and white sugars; beat until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with pumpkin, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.

Step 4

Drop medium spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets and spread into pumpkin shapes.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are slightly firm and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes; do not overbake. Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
