Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Hello sweet flavors of fall! Confession, I don’t drink the PSL’s. Right? I know. It’s shocking cause I do wear the yoga pants and the Uggs. Sometimes. I also love jeans and Birkenstocks so obviously comfort is my best friend. I might have one honorary PSL a season. Another confession, I don’t drink hot coffee. I have all the cute Rae Dunn mugs but I drink tea and hot cocoa out of them. I am a lover of iced coffee. All day, every day. Every season. Now, with that being said, I do love all other things pumpkin. Pumpkin desserts are so so so good. I might even make a bit of pumpkin spice creamer for my iced coffee. Cause you know, leftover pumpkin cannot be wasted. Those few tablespoons must be used!
To kick off the season I made some delish pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. On Saturday, my 14-year-old got to do a ride along with my husband’s fire department. How cool is that? He has decided that he wants to be a firefighter. A couple of more ride alongs are in the future but I am excited that he has a plan. Fingers crossed that it will have him making good choices and working hard in the years to come. Anyway, I had to pick him up that evening so I decided to take some treats to the crew to thank them for teaching him for the day.
I did a little searching for a good recipe and I found this one, which I modified a bit, over at Two Twenty-One. I did a little taste testing at home and then packed up the rest to deliver to the station. My husband tasted them to make sure that they were OK before I left. He really takes one for the team people.
