Well, it’s been a hot minute since I last posted here on the blog! We’ve had such a busy summer and I have so much to share with you! For today though I just want to share this recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are so delicious and bring all the fall feels! I have nice memories associated with these cookies, my Mom has made this recipe as long as I can remember. If you are from the Maritimes, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of the Barbour Cookbook and that’s where this recipe is from.
I usually use the canned pumpkin but if I have fresh pumpkin, I will use that. The pumpkin flavour taste is not as pronounced but still pretty darned tasty! I hope you’ll give these cookies a try this fall season! I bet they will become a family favourite!
