Pumpkin Cookies

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies From Sally’s Baking Addiction. My personal favorite is one that my family always asks me to bring to Thanksgiving every year. Something about this pumpkin and chocolate mixture is just heavenly! I actually like to use milk chocolate chips instead of semi sweet chips like most recipes call for.

Omitting the egg, using melted butter, and blotting the pumpkin guarantee these pumpkin cookies taste like our favorite chewy chocolate chip cookies with brilliant pumpkin spice flavor.
