Marietta’s favorite ‘Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies’ Recipe

We love this chewy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies recipe because not only is it delicious, but it’s a great source for fiber and vitamin A.

Because I love “anything” pumpkin I searched for a recipe that combined pumpkin with another of my favorites, chocolate chip cookies. Came across this one, and have been using it ever since. These cookies are so delicious and easy to make. They have a spiciness to them, but by no means is it overpowering.

And the best part is that they freeze really well. I make them a few weeks ahead of a holiday and when I take them out they taste just as fresh and delicious as if I had just baked them.
