Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies....

I've met my pumpkin cookie match.  These are loaded with rolled oats (have I mentioned oatmeal cookies are my very favorite?), super soft and thick, and rich with pumpkin flavor.  And loaded with chocolate chips.  And they are so moist. I love. love. love. love. 

Some friends had us over for dinner and we brought these for dessert.  I had lost track of how many cookies I'd eaten before we even got there (several disappeared straight from the cooling rack). So on our way home I told my husband he had to take the rest of them to work the next day.  I know myself way too well, they wouldn't  have lasted past breakfast.   

Or even the car ride home. By the time we got here there were only a few cookies left. Gasp--not sure how that happened.  Who takes just a few cookies into work with them?  Like "Hi,all  30 of my coworkers, take a nibble of a cookie that my wife made, they're so good." 

Not happening. They stayed with me:)
