One of my favorite things about having a family is creating traditions that we all look forward to each year. My kids are still quite young, so we’re still in the stage of trying new things and seeing what sticks. Baking pumpkin chocolate chip cookies has become one of those traditions.
This year seemed particularly special. With Pandora playing in the background, the kids danced while Mark and I chatted as I whipped up a batch of these cookies. They all watched eagerly (my husband included!) through the oven window as the cookies baked. We even had running commentary as they counted down the minutes. And then, when they heard the beep of the timer, there were cheers all around and I couldn’t get the cookies off the tray fast enough! The kids all managed to burn their fingers or mouths, but to them, it was totally worth it. Life is rarely picture perfect, but it felt pretty close that night.
If you like pumpkin, these cookies are definitely worth a try. They are fluffy, a little bit cakey and perfect with a cup of coffee, if you can keep them long enough to brew some! I hope you enjoy.
They look delicious! I can almost smell them. 🙂
