Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, quick oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients and pumpkin puree to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined and no dry flour remains.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate morsels.
  7. Drop rounded 1/4-cup portions of dough onto lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Gently press each mound into a ghost shape: round the top and taper the bottom into a wavy edge using a spatula or your fingers.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
