Begin by sifting all of your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: flour, baking powder and soda, salt and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Add sugar, vanilla and egg into a separate mixing bowl and whisk until creamy.
Add vegetable oil and canned pumpkin into the sugar and egg mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Slowly add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and combine.
Fold the Reese’s Pieces candy into the cookie batter.
Cover the bowl of cookie batter with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Once the time is up, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to add mounds of cookie dough onto the lined pan.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden around the edges. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

This batter is not like typical cookie dough: it will be incredibly sticky – but, this is normal and it is the consistency you want for this particular recipe.
The finished cookie is more cake-like than a traditional chocolate chip cookie.
If you don’t have a cookie scoop, be sure to drop mounds that are about 2 inches in diameter (hint: a typical cookie scoop holds about 1 ½ tablespoons of batter)
