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