Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are AMAZING!  I love regular pumpkin chocolate chip cookies but these are even better!  I love the texture the oats add to the cookie. And the best part is they are healthier as well.  This recipe uses part whole flour and part all-purpose flour and uses less butter than most regular pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. If you love pumpkin and oats, you will love these cookies!

How pretty is the dough?! I just want to eat it up instead of baking it!

Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip CookiesI’ve made this recipe a couple of times and I experimented with making it a little healthier. I made it with 1/4 cup less granulated sugar and added a few tablespoons of wheat germ. It was just as good and healthier! Either way you make these, you will love it!
