I am such a cookie monster and having chocolate chip cookies around is one of my favorite things ever. It may have just been one-upped by these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies though! I have tried making pumpkin cookies about a million times and I never really liked them because they were too cakey, and I happen to be a fan of chewy/crunchy cookies. So, here's the thing… pumpkin has a lot of moisture in it, which is why it’s so great for quickbreads, pancakes, muffins, etc. However, when it comes to cookies, it can make the cookies so soft and cakey that they barely taste like cookies anymore. After a decent amount of testing, I have created a recipe that isn’t overly cakey and still has the flavors and textures that I love in a regular chocolate chip cookie.
