Super Moist Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies loaded with chewy oats and semi sweet chocolate chips!
Oh my word I love pumpkin. and chocolate. and cookies. I love it all.
Another thing I really love? Adding rolled oats to cookies. There’s something about a handful of old fashioned rolled oats baked into cookie batter that makes the finished product have the best texture ever. A little chewy, extra moist, and that nutty flavor without actually having to add nuts to the cookie itself. Because there’s only certain circumstances in which I really crave a nut in my cookie.
Like white macadamia chocolate chip cookies. That is a special case.
But with pumpkin cookies I want a whole bunch of nutty, chewy rolled oats, and a truck load of chocolate chips.
Seriously. a truck load.
Because there should be a minimum of two chocolate chips – preferably three – in every single bite of cookie. And my husband agrees. If were up to him the ratio of chocolate chips to actual cookie would likely be somewhere around 9:1 – but I’ll spare you that mouthful of straight-up chocolate chips and recommend my 2-3 chip per bite. The perfect balance of pumpkin to chocolate.
And LOOK! This one is for you…
