Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are too good not just eat one! These make a wonderful Holiday cookie idea for a cookie tray.
Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies for OXO
Disclosure: I was sent an OXO gift box for free but I was not compensated monetarily for this post. All opinions expressed are my own. I truly love OXO tools and support their #OXOGoodCookie cause.
Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are a sweet way to bake a difference … and they’re a great Fall treat. I’m sure you’ve noticed all of the pumpkin and apple recipes flooding the internet right now – It’s kinda hard not to notice. I’m just helping by doing my part and feeding the frenzy! 😉 These little goodies are soooo yummy – and the recipe makes a bunch – perfect for sharing!
Background inspiration
Before we get to the cookie, let me give you a little background – Cookies for Kids Cancer was founded by two OXOnians (OXO employees) inspired by their 2 year old son’s battle with cancer. It provides inspiration, ideas and support for people everywhere to help fight childhood cancer — through the simple concept of local events like bake sales.
Since the beginning, OXOnians have pledged their time and energy by baking cookies and hosting bake sales, with proceeds matched by their parent company. This year, OXO will donate up to $100,000 to support this cause. Be sure to check out the end of this post to see how you can help bake a difference!
These are the nifty tools OXO sent me to try out. The funny thing is, one of my measuring cups broke recently (I won’t point fingers at the 17 yr old – *ahem*) – so I was actually looking to buy new ones! Thanks OXO for the awesome stuff! I love them all – but I especially appreciate the measuring cups! 🙂
If you’re interested in getting your very own OXO tools for cookie making or baking in general, be sure to check out OXO’s website for their full line of products. If you choose to buy OXO products, be sure to look for this green dot! Starting in September, if you buy any specially marked OXO baking tool, 25 cents will be donated towards Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. Be sure to look for these tools at participating retailers!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Notes
- I love freezing cookies! This batch makes a lot, so it’s perfect for making ahead of time.

I have these pinned or favorited these (I don't remember which!) because as soon as I saw the picture on Facebook I wanted to give them a go! Look great and cookies are one of the few ways that I will eat pumpkin!
lovely pictures, and delicious sounding recipe!!!! Thank you so much for linking up to Mouthwatering Mondays! I always enjoy your yummy recipes
How funny. Yesterday I was craving oatmeal cookies and thought about making pumpkin oatmeal cookies. Of course, this all would have worked out a lot better if I'd actually had pumpkin. Anyway…yum! I dig OXO stuff and was not aware of the Cookies for Kids Cancer benefit.
Thank you for linking!
Hi Jamie, your cookies look amazing and I bet they are so yummy! I saw it on table for 7.

Hi Jamie! Stopping by from two cup tuesday, and saw your cookies, which look so yummy! Pinning!
These look great Jamie. I've never made pumpkin cookies and I think it's high time I changed that.
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yummm! This look so classically delicious!
Mmmmm, the only way to make chocolate chip cookies better, would be to add pumpkin! Thanks for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday.
Jamie, these look like the very definition of fall! I was totally craving oatmeal cookies the other day but I love the addition of pumpkin in these 🙂
Just wanted you to know that your recipe is being featured in a pumpkin dessert round up today on Simple Living and Eating. I will be pinning and tweeting it this week.
These are perfect! For breakfast, lunch, sanck, dinner snack. Anytime of the day!
Jamie,
Thanks for linking up to our Halloween/Fall party. These cookies are so yummy looking! I love anything with oatmeal and can't wait to try this recipe.

Made these tonight, however I did some modifications. Instead of 3 sticks of butter, I used two and then a half cup of greek yogurt. I cut down on both sugars as well. I also added an extra cup of oatmeal and threw in some all spice. I made some with the chocolate, and some without (husband loves chocolate, but I hate it) and they turned out perfect. I did have to bake them a couple minutes more.
Look great! I want to make these soon!
These look so delicious!! Thanks for linking this wonderful post up to my “Themed Blog & Shop Hop!”

Jamie the base recipe for this cookie is wonderful. I altered the "add-in" and used white chocolate, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. A huge hit at Thanksgiving and I am making them again for Christmas. Happy holidays and thank you again.
