Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick oats, uncooked
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside. Cream butter; gradually add sugars, beating until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix. Alternate additions of dry ingredients and pumpkin, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans, if using.

For each cookie, drop a scant 1/4 cup dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Using a thin metal spatula, spread dough into a ghost shape. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until cookies are firm and just lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets; cool on racks. Spread cookies with white icing and trim facial features with purchased chocolate tube icing.
