Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Eric loved these.  I dislike pumpkin and these were no exception.  They just tasted bland but it seemed like anyone who likes pumpkin loved these.  They maintained a moist texture and the recipe made a lot!

1 1/2 c butter, softened
2 c packed brown sugar
1 c sugar
1 15oz can solid packed pumpkin
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 c all purpose flour
2 c quick cooking rolled oats
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 F.  In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar.  Beat in pumpkin, egg, and vanilla.  Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.  Gradually add to creamed mixture.  Drop by tbsp 2 inches apart onto a prepared cookie sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool slightly before removing to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.  Makes 10 dozen.
