Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I know I'm on a calorie specific meal plan, but I couldn't help but try this recipe, especially when I have an excuse to make the cookies.  My brother n law loves cookies and was flying into town.  Just so you know, I only had half of one cookie, yup only half.  But these cookies are good. Really tasty cake-like cookies.   Originally, I found the recipe on pinterest.com, which took me to a recipe on allrecipes.com.  These were actually really easy and fast to make. If you love pumpkin cookies, you have to try these cookies!
