Soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies



These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are perfect for those of us who love all things pumpkin pie and chocolate. These cake-like cookies are always a big hit. I think they taste best when they are cold from the refrigerator.

Notes

Funny thing about these cookies. I got the recipe from the woman who did our laundry through Sudshare for a short time. She was a hot mess always late and asking for extensions. But once she tried to make up for it with these cookies. They were so delicious I asked her for the recipe. 

This one I found online is pretty close with these few differences:
1. She only used one teaspoon cinnamon instead of two.
2. She added vanilla only one teaspoon to the milk and baking soda then added mixture just before the chocolate chips. The mixture is very THICK!
3. She omitted the walnuts.
4. Baked at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
