To say that these Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are good, would be the understatement of the grand universe. They are soft, moist, loaded with oats, chocolate and fall time pumpkin flavor. My dear friend Julie sent me the recipe last week, and I have to admit to making them twice in the past few days. They are simple to make and will make your house smell oh-so fabulous.
Hope you love them. 🙂

Recipe from the lovely Julie Thomson
I am a pumpkin freak and these do not disappoint. Yum!
These cookies had WAY to much sugar for me. I cut the white sugar by 1/2 cup eliminated the milk chocolate chips and replaced them with 1/2 cup pecans and 1/2 cup raisins. I used 1 c White and 1 c sprouted whole wheat flour and made up the last 1/2 c flour with fresh ground flax and hemp hearts. I used leftover baked butternut, turban or other sweet orange winter squash instead of Pumpkin. Now they are yummy and nutritious and if I want i can eat them for breakfast! 🙂
Wow! Your adaptations sound fabulous. Thanks for sharing them with us!

Well, I am slow on trying these out, but they might be a new favorite! Thank you! (I did add 1 tsp cloves because it’s my favorite!) I love the texture in this cookie.
thanks for sharing this recipe
Maria,
You bet. Hope you love them.

I like pure pumpkin taste without chocolate. Do you think these would still turn out okay without the choc chips? Or do I need to add something else?
Krista,
Thanks for your question. I think they would still turn out great. Let me know if you try them and if you like it.
Best,
