Oatmeal Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

I made these cookies for a Halloween party my sister-in-law had this weekend. I tweeked a recipe I already had, to use whole wheat flour and added oats. I really like heartiness the oats give it. This cookie has a cake like texture. I am still looking for a oatmeal pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe that has a cripy outside and chewy inside. This recipe makes alot of cookies. You can freeze the extras for later, share some with your neighbors, or cut the recipe in half.

Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

After preschool this week I wanted to make a fun fall recipe with my two girls. They love to help me in the kitchen. I wanted a really easy one that they could help me make. They are only four and two so it had to be super simple. This yummy cookie recipe only has three ingredients so it was just perfect. They are also low fat!
