Ridiculously Moist Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I just realized that it is mid-November and I have not made anything with pumpkin in it. WHAT?? That is just not acceptable. November is the month when you can indulge in all things pumpkin so what am I thinking! I better get with the program before my pumpkin time is up. Every November I am normally baking my super moist Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies. No lie, I usually make them at least every week throughout November and so far I have not even made them once. So here I am... getting my priorities straight and finally baking up these Ridiculously Moist Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. I am serious when I say they are ridiculously moist. I have made them so many times that I have been able to tweak the recipe for an almost perfect Pumpkin Chocolate chip cookie. So if you are a slacker like me here is a fool-proof recipe to get you back in the groove. It's November people!!! Thanksgiving is just around the corner...









 If I feel like sharing them with others I will double the recipe, otherwise I would probably end up eating 4 dozen cookies! The recipe I use only makes about 2 dozen, that way I eat less! I am trying to keep the Thanksgiving lbs from packing on!

Happy Pumpkin Month!

XOXO,

  1. I have made this recipe twice now, and these cookies are absolutely fantastic. I have a tough time believing people when they offer me compliments because I don't know how good I am yet at baking. Since I don't have my own recipes, I will continue to borrow some from this site.
