Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I feel like I am the only girl in America that has not jumped on the Pumpkin Spice Latte bandwagon.  I'm actually a fan of the yummy Fall drink - it's the 420 calories that are hard to swallow.  On second thought, it's easy to swallow - just hard to burn off.

Even though I've been able to resist ordering a pumpkin latte thus far, I have certainly had my fair share of pumpkin treats this month.  I've made pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies and pumpkin roll.  

I've been working out a new pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe and I've enjoyed sampling each batch along the road to pumpkin chocolate chip cookie perfection.  Now you know why I can't afford to drink a 420 calorie pumpkin spice latte - I need to save those calories for cookies.  ;)

This recipe was not the easiest cookie recipe that I've ever created.  (But it was one of the tastiest.)  The addition of pumpkin to a traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe did not produce the result that I was looking for.   In the end, I eliminated the egg and made some other minor modifications to create this deliciously moist and spicy pumpkin chocolate chip cookie.  

​Ciao!
