Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
You know how sometimes things are so good that you can't stop eating them, and after a while you wish you had never made them because they just keep calling your name...and even if you made them to give away or take to your future mom-in-law's house for Thanksgiving you just sit there and keep eating them? That's what these cookies are to me. The night I made them I ate 5 of them. The next day two more, and about 10 more over the course of Thanksgiving.
