Seemed like a great idea to sit down and figure out a recipe using a neglected can of pumpkin that’s been sitting in the cabinet for a while. That’s what you do this time of year, right? Recipes featuring pumpkin seem to be everywhere you look. I have nothing against pumpkin, but if I see one more recipe for standard pumpkin pie, I might just scream. Or open another bottle of wine and watch more Duck Dynasty.

My husband was a little skeptical when I told him I was making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Not only is he not fond of pumpkin, but he didn’t like the sound of combining it with chocolate.

He should know by now to trust my decision making skills, especially when it comes to cookies.

They may not be the prettiest looking cookies, but they’re orange and black, which is perfect for Halloween. It’s just about the closest thing to a holiday-themed food you’ll ever see me make. But that’s a rant for another day.

Turns out, these soft, pillowy cookies go quite well with wine.

I make a variation of these. Try using bread flour, less granulated sugar, and throw in brown sugar. They are even better!

These look delicious! I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to post, but they turned out sorta weird and under-baked. Half the family loved, half didn’t…so they never got posted. Yours look awesome though! Definitely trying 🙂
