Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookie Bars

Preheat oven to 350-degrees and Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil. Spray the bottom and sides with baking spray. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar and white sugar on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, vanilla extract and pumpkin extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Change the mixer speed to low and slowly add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Mix in both of the oats and the chocolate chips. Mixing until barely combined.

Remove the bowl from the mixer and dump dough out into prepared pan. TOPPING: in a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin spice and sugar. Spoon topping evenly over cookie bars.

Bake bars in 350-degree oven for 28-minutes or until the edges of the cookies are light brown. Remove from the oven and set on wire rack to cool. Let bars set completely in the pan before removing to cut into squares.
