Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe I JUST tried the other day. I found it on good old pinterest...thanks to cooking classy.com

When I first made them I did it exactly like the recipe says, then for the second batch I added more oatmeal...like a cup. You decide :)

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour     1 1/2 C oats

1 tsp baking soda     3/4 tsp salt

1 3/4 tsp cinnamon   1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger    1 C unsalted butter (softened)

1 1/3 C packed light brown sugar

2/3 C granulated sugar    1 Large egg

1 tsp vanilla    1 1/4 C canned pumpkin

1 3/4 C milk chocolate chips

 (it asks for semi but I NEVER use semi sweet ...gag)

You can add pecans or walnuts if you'd like

Mix flour, oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger together and set aside. 

In a standing mixer with the paddle attachment mix butter and sugars until creamy. add egg and vanilla and pumpkin.

 Then slowly add the dry ingredients tot he mixer. Then add chocolate chips and nuts.

I saved a little bit of the chocolate chips and added them to the cookies a few minutes before the timer went off. 

 Bake for 13 minutes at 350*
