Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies become a wonderful fall treat with the addition of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. These Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies bake up soft and cakey and have plenty of chocolate chips.

Pumpkin and chocolate. It’s totally a winning combination. And hopefully you’ve stocked up on canned pumpkin because I hear there’s a shortage this year.

I’m one of those people who looks forward with great anticipation to pumpkin season each year. Although, to be honest, since I pretty much only use canned pumpkin, I have a tendency to bake with pumpkin year round. The pumpkin baking just gets ratcheted up a few notches during the fall months. Because it’s a necessity that my house be filled with the wonderful aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger as much as possible during September, October, and November.

And I totally can’t believe that November is almost here. That means there’s precious little time left for fall baking.

Better hop to it and make these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.  🙂

I know a lot of people aren’t that crzy about cake-like cookies. But I love them. I feel like I’m having my cookies and my cake too.  🙂
