Ah pumpkin season is in full force with the height of October upon us so I am sharing this recipe for the Chewiest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! Taking a classic and giving it a pumpkin twist, that’s the gist of October if you ask me.
In a recent Instagram poll I did on my stories this Sunday showed 89% of you, like Chewy cookies. I’d say chewy takes the cake as well! Speaking of cake..these cookies are thick, cakey, chewy cookies. The type that you think you’ll just have one, but then slowly keep creeping back for more. Creep away…it’s almost Halloween.
You can add red or orange food die to these to make the pumpkin color really stand out. Here shown is just the canned pumpkin and 1 drop of orange food dye to ensure a little festiveness.
I have ordered 3 costumes for Bailey only for her to decide she wants something different. Every year before, she’s been some type of princess. This year, she’s going to be a villain. Stay tuned!
