pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

"Damn these cookies to hell."

That's the comment I read that made me want to bake these cookies.

And I have to agree with whomever typed that sentence. These cookies are hellishly delicious.

I have made these twice this past week. The second time I doubled the recipe and mixed it up with adding semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. So, so good.

Another reason I wanted to make these cookies is that they aren't the ol' made from a box of cake mix. From scratch is where it's at.

And because I'd much rather eat these than spend time trying to take a picture of them, I don't have any photos to showcase the tasty treats. Just google 'pumpkin chocolate chip cookies' if you need a visual.

But trust me, you want to make these and then eat all of them.

((the cookie scooper gadget thingy doesn't work very well with this dough. it's a little on the wet side and just gets stuck inside. i just used a cereal spoon and plopped down about 3 tablespoons of dough for each cookie.))
