Fall is here, Ya’ll! I know I’m not the only one who loves this time of year. Leaves are subtly beginning to pick up their autumn tones. The angle of the sun adds a brilliance to crisp, blue Fall skies. But most importantly pumpkins are everywhere! It is a great time of year to enjoy some easy pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. You cannot deny the versatility and health benefits of cooking with pumpkin. A serving of pumpkin contains 200% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A.

All of those benefits make pumpkin an excellent ingredient. I love to cook pumpkins as dessert. My family loves this Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. I hope you enjoy it too!
