Preheat oven, 350. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

Cream butter; gradually add sugars, beating until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Alternate additions of dry ingredients and pumpin, mixing well after each addition. Stir in morsels. For each cookie, drop ¼ c. dough onto lightly greased cookie sheet; spread into pumpin shape (if desired), using a thin metal spatula. Add a bit more dough to form stem.

Bake 20 to 25 mins. till cookies are firm and lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets; cool on racs. Decorate, using icing or peanut butter to affix assorted candies, raisins, or nuts. Yield: 19 to 20 cookies.

Variation: 1 c. raisins instead of morsels. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by donarose@... on Jul 8, 1997
