Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Cookies
These cookies are delicious on their own. They are loaded with pumpkin, oatmeal and chocolate chips. They have a nice chew and the icing almost makes them taste like an oatmeal cream pie. But what really makes them cute are the candy faces!
Servings: 24 Large Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For decorating: crusting buttercream or frosting tubes and assorted candies and chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon & salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter until smooth. Gradually add sugars, beating until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, and vanilla, mix well.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and pumpkin to the butter mixture. Mix well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Shape into pumpkin shapes on greased or parchment paper lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the cookie. They will still be soft and you don’t want them to brown too much around the edges. Cool for 15 minutes, then remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack to cool completely.
