Let me start by saying, I am not a huge fan of pumpkin desserts. Never understood it, until these cookies were introduced to my life. Now I am a believer. Well, I guess I still dislike other pumpkin desserts, but this one is a clear winner in my book. They are soft, pillowy cookies with hints of cinnamon, pumpkin and chocolate flavors. The first time Dan ate them it was like a scene in the movie 'What About Bob' where Bob is REALLY pleased with the wife's dinner she prepared and expresses such pleasure by lots of "mmm", "MMMMM", "MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM". You know what I am talking about. If not-watch that movie. Stat!
So, here you go! Enjoy!!
