Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Let’s be honest, I am always looking for a reason to make another pumpkin recipe. They are all so delicious, warm, and comforting that I just can’t wait to create new ones and make old favorites. This is one that I have been enjoying since my childhood. The flavors are just perfect, the semi-sweet chocolate chips balance out the sweet pumpkin just perfectly, and sifting the flour and other dry ingredients make these particularly light and fluffy. Since fall is often the season for hosting events, this is a great recipe to have on hand to make the next time you have people coming over. It is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
