Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
A good, chewy chocolate chip cookie takes me straight back to childhood. I remember my mom making chocolate chip cookies and my dad, and I would “fight” over the spoon. This recipe came to me by accident, I made some pumpkin muffins and had leftover pumpkin. I asked the VegInspired chef if he thought the pumpkin would work in cookies and still make them thick and chewy. He thought it would, so that became the mission. Now that these are done and ready to eat, I think the pumpkin is very subtle, but the result is perfect. A chewy, chocolatey chip cookie that is oil-free and vegan! Woo-Hoo!!
