2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup solid-pack pumpkin (Libby's)
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet morsels

Preheat oven to 350°F.

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 morsels.

For each cookie, drop 1/4 cup dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet; spread dough into a ghost shape using a thin metal spatula. Make two or three poses for variety.

Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes, til cookies are firm and lightly browned.

Makes 20 ghostly cookies.
