What would fall be without some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies? They are a fall must bake at my house! I love how they puff up and are soft and moist, almost like a portable pumpkin cake with a little more chew and of course chocolate chips. So yummy!
This recipe can be cut in half if you don’t want a large amount of cookies. The baked cookies can also be frozen separately on a cookie sheet then moved into ziplock bags once frozen so they don’t stick together.
