HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN OATMEAL COOKIES
My sister Carol has made these for her boys since they were little and both they and their friends loved them. Now the boys are in college, they just "have to have" them every Halloween.... so Carol sends them care packages. (Number of cookies is estimate)

Steps:
- Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
- Cream butter; gradually add sugars, beating til fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
- Alternate additions of dry ingredients and pumpkin, mixing well between additions.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- For each cookie, drop upto 1/4 c cookie dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet; shape into "pumpkin-shape" with spatula.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
- Decorate with icing and assorted candies, raisins, and/or nuts.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin purée. Fresh pumpkin purée will give your cookies a more intense pumpkin flavor than canned purée. To make your own pumpkin purée, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until soft, then scoop out the flesh and purée it in a food processor.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown. The cookies should be set in the center, but still slightly soft. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. If you frost the cookies while they are still warm, the frosting will melt and run off.
Conclusion:
These Halloween pumpkin oatmeal cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for Halloween parties or gatherings. They are soft and chewy with a delicious pumpkin flavor, and the cream cheese frosting adds a touch of sweetness and creaminess. With these tips, you can easily make these cookies at home and enjoy them with your family and friends.
