Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are a must make this season! Moist, delicious & irresistible. These are the prefect sweet combo!

Since it’s beginning to feel like fall I’ve decided to go with pumpkin. This was actually the first pumpkin recipe I ever made back in the day. In fact these cookies have a cute story. In a weird kinda of way these cookies are very dear to me.

In 2010, I lost my grandma, Jaye. She was very sick for a long time. She was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and couldn’t eat normal foods. I’ll never forget one year I went to visit her. Since I just baked a batch of these cookies I wanted to surprise her with them. I never cooked or baked when I was in my 20’s and I knew she would be proud of me.

Even if she couldn’t eat them, I wanted to make her proud and see her smile. Later that week, she called and said, “Cyndi, guess what?” I said, “what grandma”? I had no clue what she was talking about, but I’ll never ever forget the next words out of her mouth.  Her response was, “I ate the whole bag of cookies you left here for me!”

I was beyond shocked and happy. When I tell you she couldn’t eat, I mean she really couldn’t eat. The fact that she finished about 10 cookies made me ecstatic. Sadly, I was never able to make her more cookies, but just typing this post and eating these cookies makes me think of her. I dedicate this recipe for her!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are so moist and soft. They have the perfect touch of pumpkin flavor and the chocolate chips add a nice sweet touch. These cookies are the perfect snack for school, soccer games or just good to munch on, like I do. The simplest desserts are the best at times. Don’t you agree?

I have some more pumpkin recipes coming to you soon! Make sure to keep checking back for more yummy pumpkin and Fall recipes! Hope you all enjoy these cookies as much as we do!

Instructions

 

•  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
