Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

As we approach holiday festivities, I am sharing one of my favorite cookie recipes.  These pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are nutritious, delicious, and wholesome! When I bring these little bits of goodness to parties, my friends and family rave about them. They are a feel-good after-eating kind of dessert. These cookies contain ingredients such as wheat flour, olive oil, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, oats, and pumpkin purée.
