Adding pumpkin to your basic cookie recipe makes them moist and soft. That’s what I did with these Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies!
Once every couple of weeks I like to make cookies. I always make them thinking I will save them and freeze them for a later but let’s face it, that never happens.
So on Saturday I set out to make these cookies with my daughters. I have been thinking about them for weeks because you guys are seriously loving the chocolate chip pumpkin roll I made for you last year.
When you mix pumpkin and chocolate you really can’t go wrong, right? So I was in the kitchen debating if I wanted to let the girls help me. They are 5 and 2 and when they help me especially the 2 year old it can get messy. And because I am such a control freak in the kitchen it can sometimes be challenging to let them help. But I took a deep breath and let them. It actually went well. There were no messes no spills and no broken eggs to clean up!
We made these on Saturday and by Sunday night they were gone. I made them again on Tuesday morning and by the evening they were gone. In my defense, though, I sent most of them to my husbands work. I do believe this is definitely going to be a fall favorite type cookie that I will be making over and over! Hope you ENJOY!

What lovely puffy pumpkin cookies! I’ve never tried pumpkin chocolate chip anything for some weird reason. I think it’s time to get that taken care of. 🙂

Yeah, whenever I make cookies, I have the best intentions of freezing half of the batch. Never happens! I can see why these cookies disappeared so quickly at your house.

I know what you mean though about baking with kids or kids in general in the kitchen. Sometimes I just want to get in and out and everything takes a bit longer with them but the memories right? These look yummy!

How cute!!! I bet your girls loved being in the kitchen with you!! It really is hard letting go of the control but it’s worth it isn’t it? The problem I have is when my mixture starts my kids come running-I never get to bake alone! These are wonderful Nancy! Perfect fall cookies.
Chocolate and pumpkin great combo and great to do with the kiddos!
