Pumpkin Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi everyone! After a brief blogging hiatus… I’m back! 

I’ve missed you all! 🙂 Not being able to post for the last couple of weeks has been driving me nuts! If you guys don’t know I started my first semester of grad school last month, and I’m still working full time Monday through Friday; so getting a schedule down to juggle everything has been kind of hard for me. How do all these amazing bloggers do it?

Anyway enough about that…Fall is finally here! Well, it’s still hot as the dickens here in LA, but I’m  determined to celebrate fall the best way that I can. It seems like everyone’s favorite fall dishes contain the infamous pumpkin, and you know what… I’m all here for it! I love pumpkin, and one of my favorite recipes to make during the fall and especially for Halloween are my Pumpkin Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies.I got this recipe from a college friend’s mom. She used to send us the most beautiful fall themed care packages, and the cookies were always inside. It was always one of my favorite things to look forward to; so I had the idea to extend that friendliness to my neighbors and host a small fall party outside in our alley. Yes… you read right. I said alley! Good ole apartment living, lol. I should correct myself though. It really wasn’t a party since all I did was move my butcher block outside, decorate it, and serve the cookies on it, but it was most appreciated by my neighbors and was a great way from keeping me from eating all those cookies! 😛

These cookies are so addicting! The pumpkin spice flavor goes so well with the chocolate chips, and when the cookies finish baking you end up with a soft cake like cookie. These are perfect for a night of carving pumpkins with the kids (I still do this with my friends) or a night of scary movie watching with the boyfriend. Check out the recipe below, and Happy Halloween!
