Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Illness hit our house HARD these last few weeks. And with colds comes dehydration and carb heavy diets. And with dehydration and carb heavy diets in toddlers comes... Well it's mostly what doesn't come that's the issue. So in an attempt to add a little extra fiber into Delia's diet while still making sure its yummy enough to crave when you're not feeling 100% we made these cookies.

Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

adapted from this recipe 

• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups quick oats
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/3 cups packed light-brown sugar
• 1/3 cup truvia baking blend
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree (I added a little extra to compensate for the whole wheat flower drying them out a bit)
• 1 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Combine butter and sugar until smooth

2. Mix in pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla

3. In a separate bowl mix together dry ingredients

4. Mix dry ingredients in with the wet. 

5. Add the oats and chocolate chips in and fold in with a spatula.

6. Scoop about a tablespoon on a parchment lined sheet. I pressed them down with a fork to keep them more cookie consistency. 

7. Bake at 350 for about 10 min

They still turn out a bit cakey but that seems to happen to me every time I use pumpkin in a recipe. Still yummy and hopefully they do the trick for little bellies. 

*Edit* they totally do the trick :D
