Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, pumpkin, and syrup, and mix well. If adding chocolate chips, fold them through.
Using your hands, form into small balls and place on the baking tray and press each ball into a cookie shape. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove and allow to cool on the sheet.
