Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I am so thankful for the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano for their collecting and distribution of food to those in need. I am also thankful to the people who donate food and volunteer their time at the food bank. But most importantly, I am thankful for these DELICIOUS PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!
Do you have a spare can of pumpkin leftover from Thanksgiving? If so, you should definitely give this recipe a try! These are the most delicious cookies I’ve ever had! They are super moist, has a pumpkiny-taste to them, and have way less sugar than most cookies!
I just discovered this recipe two weeks age, and have made 5 batches since!
