These Oatmeal Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are kind of amazing. At least to my taste buds. I love all the things going on in these cookies. I love all things fall, and pumpkin flavored things are definitely at the top of that list. We recently moved back to the Southwest and I am seriously missing my fall foliage this year. To make up for it, I will just have to make lots of fall food. Soup and warm drinks and all the baked goods. I actually have quite a few pumpkin recipes from past years, and you should definitely take a look here.
I made these cookies last year, so I think I need to make them again. And soon. Also, I think I need to come up with lots more delicious ways to enjoy this wonderful time of year. I have friends who get upset when summer is over. This is strange to me. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sun and the beach and…ok, maybe that’s all. I am much happier when the weather starts for cool down. It is seriously my favorite.
As a matter of fact, I am in the process of getting a “Fall Food” category set up so that it’s easier to access all of the fall goodness I’ve put together over the years. You’re welcome.
