Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies


My friend, La Fuji Mama, made these cookies for Camp Blogaway a couple of months ago.  I have been meaning to make them for a while...but it has been so darn hot.  I just can't make pumpkin yummies while it is too hot...and by hot I mean 102 degrees outside.  The weather cooled off this week, so I pulled out the pumpkin and got started!  You have to make these!  They are sooo good!


Mix wet ingredients.

Look at all these YUMMY spices!  I was a little worried that it might be "too spicy", but it is such a good mix  

Mix your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients.   Your dough will be sticky.

Then, comes the good stuff.  I prefer to use the chunks, but if you have a brick of chocolate, you can chop it up and use it too.  (Chocolate chips work just was well!)

Drop them on a cookie sheet using a teaspoon.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes.
These are a great cookie to bake and give to friends for the upcoming holidays.  They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
