Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are quick, easy to make, and very delicious for all of you pumpkin fans!  They’re very light and fluffy.  I used light brown sugar when I made them tonight but I think they’d be even better with dark brown sugar.

1 cup butter, softened                                                           1 cup quick-cooking oats

3/4 cup sugar                                                                           1 tsp. baking soda

3/4 cup packed brown sugar                                                1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 large egg                                                                                1 cup canned pumpkin

1 tsp. vanilla extract                                                               1 1/2 cups semisweet choc. chips

2 cups all-purpose flour

In a bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Combine flour, oats, baking soda and cinnamon; stir into creamed mixture alternately with pumpkin.  Fold in chocolate chips.

Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheet.  Bake at 350° for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove to wire racks to cool.

Makes about 4 dozen.
