Chocolate Pumpkin Crap Cookies

Sorry for the hiatus! Moving in with my parents, being away from the Hubby, and then moving up to our new place has kept me mighty busy. I hope this recipe makes up for it! I got the original from a close friend and I upped the ante a little by adding some chocolate to it, because chocolate makes everything better, right? These cookies are everything I want in a cookie. They are soft, moist, and they have pumpkin in them so you can pretend they're healthy!

As with most cookies, start by softening a stick of butter in a mixer or bowl. While waiting for the butter to soften, preheat the oven to 375. Add 1 cup of sugar to the butter and mix until they are well combined.

Add the egg, can of pumpkin, and vanilla and mix until well combined

Next come the dry ingredients, minus the chips

Mix that up and then add the chips

Stir gently, I used a rubber spatula, to incorporate the chips

Use two tablespoons to dollop  the dough onto either a greased cookie sheet or one covered with parchment paper and bake for 12-14 minutes

Look at these beauties. I want to eat all of them right now!
