Layer a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set to the side.
In a large mixing bowl add butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Mix together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until fully mixed.
Add the egg and vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture, then stir until well mixed.
Blot the pumpkin well with a paper towel to remove any excess water. Add the pumpkin to the sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
In a medium bowl add the flour, oatmeal, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients together well until combined.
Stir the dry flour and oatmeal mixture into the wet pumpkin batter a little at a time, mixing in between. Mix just until a dough forms and there is no visible flour.
Fold in the chocolate chips into the cookie dough and mix well. Place the bowl of cookie dough in the refrigerator. Chill the dough for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheight.
Drop batter with a cookie scoop by the spoonful onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake the cookies for 18-21 minutes until soft and chewy. The middle will still be a little soft, but not raw when finished cooking. Then cool cookies on a wire rack and enjoy!
