Before I moved to the Wasatch Mountains, I had never even heard of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, let alone tasted them. I thought it was a weird local thing. I'm not sure if that really is the case, but it no longer matters. The important thing to know is that pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are wonderful!
I know there are simple versions of this cookie that just involve a cake mix and canned pumpkin. Can I just say that making them from scratch is better? Period. The butter gives you a slight crispiness on the outside. The combination of baking powder, soda, and use of only white sugar gives you a light, cakey texture. The chocolate chips are delectable with the spiciness of the cinnamon and nutmeg. Its worth the extra 2 minutes in the kitchen
I can't resist these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Some people coat these cookies with cream cheese frosting. If you're into that, knock yourself out! While they are still delicious the next day, these cookies are best the day you make them.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies taste like fall, though I bet you'll be making them all year long!
