~Pumkin Chocolate Chip Cookies~

You know what I love about Fall? 1) Halloween - I loooove to dress up! 2) My birthday is in October, and in my family we usually end up celebrating more of a birthweek or a birthmonth, so that's always good. 3) Usually the weather is cool enough to wear my fave sweaters & boots, but really you never know what you're going to get in Utah. And 4) the food that is in "season" for Fall! I can't get enough tasty soups, squash, comfort foods, and let's not forget the pumpkin flavored desserts! I know, I know, you can get pumpkin cookies and breads all year long, and I do, but this is the time of year when they shine - when they truly stand out in all of their delicious pumpkin glory.
I found this recipe last year, before I was in the habit of citing all of my sources, so I don't remember exactly where I got this one. I do know I found it online (broader than broad, i know hahaha).

These look YUM! I've never made an official cookie for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I usually do a Weight Watchers recipe that is 3 ingredients and more cake-like. Hm, wonder what the flavor difference would be!?

So I have been wondering why you haven't updated your blog for so long then I remembered this cooking blog and how many great recipes I got from it in the past. My cooking skills are somewhat lacking right now. My poor husband. I love to cook but have a hard time keeping ingredients and finding doable recipes! You definitely have a an amazing talent and I am going to mooch off here more often!
