I know that pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are pretty common, especially this time of year, but I wanted to share this recipe anyway. Rather then being a dense cookie, these are such soft, melt-in-your mouth fall treats. I've already made them a few times, and I need to stop because I can't stop sneaking them!
I'm so glad it's Friday! I'm particularly exhausted today, so I am very much looking forward to a nice, quiet weekend. Between that and the cool weather, snuggling with a warm blanket and a good movie sounds perfect! I hope you all have a wonderful, and relaxing weekend!

Found in Allrecipes.com
Ingredients
1 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla and pumpkin until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir into the pumpkin mixture. Mix in the chocolate chips. Stir in the walnuts if desired. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges begin to brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

They sound delicious and look gorgeous. I'm always looking for new pumpkin and butternut recipes.
A perfect fall cookie. I'm going to have to get me some pumpkin from the farmer's market this weekend.
Soft and melt-in-your-mouth? I'm loving the sound of that!
I would love a plate of these cookies and a glass of ice cold milk right now. Mmmm.
I like the two flavors together and I love the soft cookies so I'll be making these for some of my treating during the Halloween and autumn seasons.
Happy Twirls
By the way, we have a French Wine Set GIVEAWAY if you're interested.
Those cookies are a dream come true!!! Fantastic pictures too! I love your 'set' :) You're such a pro!
I'm not a real fan of chocolate chip anything. Think these would be good with those butterscotch bits?
I love the twist that you gave these cookies!
Oh wow..the color of your cookies are amazing!
I recently saw these in a taste of home book and was wondering about them. I'm glad to hear you like them well enough to make them more than once. They look great and I would love to try them myself!!

Love the color on these. Sounds like the perfect fall treat.
These choco-chip pumpkin cookies remind me of a light and airy scone. These cookies look like a great idea to curl up with a plate on an autumn evening, and enjoy a good movie.
