Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies

Recipe Description

These Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies literally taste like fall. There is only one time of the year that I can eat cinnamon and that is fall leading up to Christmas, so when the season comes, I eat as much of it as I can! These cookies make perfect use of the earthy spice!

I start by making cookie dough with canned pumpkin. Then I fold in chocolate chips. I drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets and bake in the oven. Once cooked, I remove them from the oven and make a brown sugar glaze while the cookies cool. To make the glaze, mix brown sugar, butter and milk in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then remove from the heat and add powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cookies and enjoy!

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