Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to cream together the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined and smooth.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until uniformly mixed.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could lead to tougher cookies.

          Fold in Oats and Chocolate: Gently fold in the rolled oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chopped nuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough and drop it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies have turned a light golden brown. The centers may appear slightly soft, which is perfectly fine as they'll firm up slightly upon cooling.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Once fully cooled, indulge in these delicious Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with a refreshing glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage, embracing the flavors of fall!

                      - Presentation Tips: For an extra touch, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the cookies before baking, or serve them stacked high on a decorative plate with a cinnamon stick for a cozy autumn vibe.
