Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

By srumbel

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.
