Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
1 large egg, room temperature
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
2-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
FROSTING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 to 2 drops orange food coloring, optional
Additional chopped walnuts, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add pumpkin; mix well. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and baking powder; gradually add to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Form dough into pumpkin shapes. Bake at 350° until firm, 14-18 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Meanwhile, for frosting, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and, if desired, food coloring; beat until smooth. Spread over cooled cookies. If desired, sprinkle with additional walnuts.
