Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside. Whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cornflour, salt, and spices. Set aside. Whisk together the butter and sugars until combined. Add the pumpkin and vanilla, and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
