Someone the other day was asking for my recipe for these cookies that
we give out at halloween. We had a major glitch with our browser and
were offline for 3 days. So here it is a little late. It's my friend
Lenore's recipe that I tweeked with my homemade pumpking pie spice to
make them a bit "halloweeny". The kidlets that come to our door look
for them every year. We put a label on them with our name, address and
phone number so parents know where they came from.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Spice Cookies

1/2 cup margarine
1 slightly beaten egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Cream margarine and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix dry
ingredients well and add a bit at a time into wet mixture until well
mixed. Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. I use a 2 1/4" ice cream
scoop rounded to make a large cookie and I flatten them to help them
spread enough. They end up being about 5-6 inches across.

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes for this size. You can make them
regular size if you wish, but I don't know if the time will
vary....watch the first batch and judge from there. ...Sharon

Much as I have tried to like chocolate chips in oatmeal-based cookies, I
just don't. The recipe sounds delicious, though, and I think I would
sbustitute toasted pecan meats.

I think I'd use raisins instead of choco-chips.

For Chinese New Year, use 5-Spice Powder instead of pumpkin pie spice
(might want to reduce it a little; use maybe 1 tsp instead of a heaping
Tbsp.)

And for Thanksgiving... Poultry Seasoning? ;-)

Best regards,
Bob

I wonder how the pecans would go with the pumpkin pie spice? I
think I would just use the basic recipe with pecans. This is the only
time I bake cookies, though, since we are both diabetic and don't deal
with that kind of temptation very well....lol....Sharon

I sometimes put a glazed pecan topping on pumpkin pie. It's good.
