Fran writes: "The Great Pumpkin Cookies recipe has been one of my favorites for Halloween. The neighbors are sure to know that when Halloween rolls around I can be counted on to have bags of these wonderful mouth watering cookies at hand. They even prefer these to candy. What a compliment."

2 cups flour

1 cup quick oats

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup margarine or butter softened

1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar (dark or light)

1 cup of sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup Libby's Solid Pack Pumpkin

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips or M&M's candies
