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.

    Delicious. I use these cookies to make pumpkin ice cream with pumpkin chocolate chip cookies broken up in it. Great soft cookie.

  2. I absolutely adore pumpkin and chocolate together. Your cookies look perfect, Christin! I just made pumpkin cookies for OXO’s cookies for kids and had the hardest time with the photos. You always know how to rock your cookie photos, I wish I had a dozen of these right now 🙂
