Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

This cookie recipe was one of the favorites from last fall. It's always fun to try and make food around a holiday theme, and this particular cookie nails Halloween in both color and flavor. Furthermore, the instant oats and whole wheat flour in the recipe makes these cookies a great source of fiber, which helps improve digestion, satiety, and blood sugar levels.
