These cookies are a softer, pumpkin-flavored sort of oatmeal cookie, topped with a chocolate bar while still warm to melt and act as immediate frosting. It’s a great combination. And this is a good way to use up leftover Halloween candy!
As soon as these pumpkin oatmeal candy bar cookies come out of the oven, they are topped with with a chocolate bar. You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate- whatever you prefer. And if you have regular-sized chocolate bars, use those instead. It’s easy to break them apart and just use smaller pieces of chocolate bar to place on top of the cookies. Those chocolate bars will immediately take on the heat of the cookies and begin to melt into wonderful chocolate puddles.
Slide the cookies onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Can I call them healthy since I incorporated some whole wheat flour into the recipe? I think so. For the record, it’s perfectly okay to use all regular all purpose flour instead of the combo of the two flours. The chocolate forms a frosting-like layer on top of the cookie, especially while they’re warm. Picture yourself eating a warm cookie with a melted mass of chocolate on top. That’s a very pretty picture, isn’t it? Once cooled, you’ve got a built-in chocolate bar on top of your cookie, creating the advantage of eating a cookie and a chocolate bar all in one dessert. It’s time to try baking these pumpkin oatmeal candy bar cookies, don’t you think? Enjoy!
