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. 🙂

I just made these and they are really good. I added butterscotch chips and they are delicious. Thanks Jamie.
Tami,
Wow! You are one fast cookie. 🙂 So glad they turned out well for you. It was so fun to see you the other day! Hope things are still going well for you and your family.

I am so making these! Thank you 🙂
Jamie, I’ve been following your blog for a long time. I feel a kinship because my husband served his mission in Korea as well. I use your recipes OFTEN and they seriously have never failed me. I made these pumpkin cookies this morning. They were delish! You rock the cooking world!
Becki,
Thanks for your sweet note. So glad you loved the cookies and am happy so many of the recipes have turned out well for you. Have a great night. 🙂

ok the pumpkin puree is that the 100% pure pumpkin or the pumpkin pie mix
Hi Judy,
Yes, you need 100% pumpkin puree, not the pumpkin pie mix. Hope you love them!

Oh Jamie – I do believe I want to be you when I grow up. Love your new blog 🙂
Yummy! I just saw this recipe and have to admit that I’ve never been all that fond of “regular” pumpkin/chocolate chip cookies (dough like Toll House, but with added pumpkin) – the oatmeal idea is brilliant! I’m totally making these tomorrow! Very excited! Another great post, thanks so much! 🙂
Hi Jamie,
I tried pinning this to pinterest and the pin is not working.
I can’t wait to try these cookies, I love pumpkin!
Just curious if you could use old-fashioned oats instead of the instant/quick-cooking oats? I wondered if that would change the consistency. I have some left from another cookie recipe. These sound delicious!
Elizabeth,
I haven’t ever tried it with regular oats, but my thoughts are that it would work out fine. Let me know if you try it and how it works. Good luck!
~Jamie
Delicious!! As with most recipes I used all “off-brand” products (to cut costs) and these cookies were WONDERFUL! Thanks Jamie!
[…] The combination just feels so wholesome and fall-ish, am I right? If you haven’t tried the Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies I posted last week…oh, my. Give them a go, won’t you. I suppose since they are cookies […]
These look amazing!!! I found your blog randomly and the fun thing is that I know Julie Thomson! I grew up across the street from her husband’s family and am really good friends with his sister, Tami. I have loved every recipe that I have ever made off your blog. Keep up the great work!
I just made these and they are sooo good! They will be a keeper around my house. They made my house smell wonderful. I will have to try your Baked Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal with my left over pumkin. Thanks for all your yummy recipes!
I made these a couple of days ago and they are delish! I lied to my kids when they asked if there was pumpkin in them because I knew they wouldn’t touch them if they knew. I waited until they had each eaten a few asked them if they liked them which they said they did, then told them they did indeed have pumpkin in them. I’m a little liar I know. Anyways I still probably love them more than the kids and have eated at least 6 a day since I made them.
I’m about to make these for the second time. They are SO delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe! I’ve already shared it with a few people after they loved the first batch!

The picture above shows what looks to be 1/2 c. butter (1 stick maybe cut in half) yet the recipe calls for 1 c. butter. Seems like too much, but other than that cookies are in the oven now and hope they are as good as they look!
Hey Jamie!
Excited to bake these cookies this afternoon. I could not get your “Pumpkin Recipes” link to work. Could you try posting it again? Having pumpkin fever around here 🙂
Lindsey,
Thanks for letting me know. I have fixed the link. Hope you love the cookies. Made them again just last week. 🙂

having the same problem
Hi Jamie these look so good !:) is the flour self rise or all purpose ..
I made these tonight and they were great! The right combination of pumpkin and oatmeal…and let’s not forget the chocolate chips! Thanks for sharing!
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!
Best,
~Jamie

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,
~Jamie
