Chewy Pumpkin Cookies

Recipe Description

Not only during fall, these Chewy Pumpkin Cookies are great any time of year! But I must admit they are perfect with a hot cup of cocoa or chai when you’re cozied up inside.

By now my friends all know that I’m never satisfied with everyday tastes. So instead of a classic chocolate chip cookie I decided to try something a little different and added pumpkin instead – and it worked! Soft, sweet and delicious, and they smell amazing when they’re baking.

To make Chewy Pumpkin Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

    Step 6 - Chewy Pumpkin Cookies

That’s my very easy version of these Soft Pumpkin Cookies but feel free to experiment with your own! Why not add some chocolate buttons or marshmallows for extra gooiness or some sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a more savory twist? Don’t forget to snap your creations and share them with me!
