Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Old-fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix the batter. Mix until just combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
