Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

After I made these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, I found myself with some leftover pumpkin, so I decided to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (recipe found on Allrecipes).

The pumpkin made these cookies delightfully soft and chewy - just the way I like them, and the pumpkin flavor was not too overpowering.

Delicious!
