Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of the kids’ favorite things to bake are homemade chocolate chip cookies. It’s a family event everyone helps and we all sit by the oven  door waiting for  our cookies to bake.  This time we added pumpkin puree to our original chocolate chip cookie recipe and they were delicious!

This recipe is the best of both worlds they are the consistency of a cookie/cake. I divided the batter and put chocolate chip in one and white chocolate chip in the other the kids preferred the chocolate I preferred the white chocolate.

This would be a great recipe to bring for thanksgivings instead of pumpkin pie. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
