Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies -
The flavors of autumn

If you love your pumpkin and chocolate, combine the two in these soft, cake-like cookies.    

Pumpkin and chocolate may seem like an unlikely combination, but they seem to work magically together.    Made with pumpkin, sweetened with apple sauce, spiced up with cinnamon and dressed up with chocolate chips, they are the sort of cookie you want to settle down with on a cool autumn evening.

These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies would also go down a treat at a Halloween Party.    They are so easy to make, the kids could easily make these themselves (perhaps with a little help).
