Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are what I’m known for. I’m the only one who makes them in my neck of the woods (more on that in a bit), and everyone LOVES them.

Truthfully, I love anything pumpkin, but chocolate takes pumkin to a whole new level. Have you tried my pumpkin chocolate chip muffins or my pumpkin chocolate chip bread yet? They’re divine!

I’d actually never thought of combining pumpkin and chocolate until 10 years ago, when we had a 20 year old hockey player billeting with us. I did a lot of baking while he was here, and one day he mentioned that his favourite homemade cookies were his mom’s pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
