Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup + 3 Tbsp. sugar
1½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. milk
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
¾ cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup rolled oats

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add whole wheat flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
In a medium mixing bowl, add canned pumpkin, unsalted butter, milk, egg and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and use a large rubber spatula to mix until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and dark chocolate chips.
Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, add cookie dough to your prepared baking sheet. The mixture should make about 20 cookies. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, until just starting to brown on the outsides and bottom of cookies.
Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to continue cooling. Enjoy!

Notes

Add raisins or dried cranberries for an extra fall touch!
