What makes it feel more like fall than making pumpkin (or pumpkin spiced) everything!? AND chocolate chip pumpkin!?
A few weeks ago, my husband and I were going over to a friends house for dinner and I asked her what kind of cookies I should bring. (If you haven’t noticed yet, cookies are my favorite thing to bake)
With it being officially fall, she chose Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! I was so happy that she chose that because I had been wanting to make something with pumpkin!
Earlier that week I had bought a couple sugar pumpkins to bake and puree for Little Ox #2, so it was perfect timing to make the perfect pumpkin cookies! And a classic Pumpkin Chocolate Chip was a great choice!
I tweaked my normal chocolate chip cookie recipe to make room for the fresh pumpkin puree and they turned out wonderful. Even my mom who dislikes pumpkin and any cookies with chocolate chips in them, thought they were great! Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies are the best thing for any fall occasion! Or just because Chocolate Chip Pumpkin cookies are the best and you can eat them all day!
