Mmmm...the Taste of Fall

While our boys spent the afternoon at Home Depot, K. and I baked a fall-time favorite: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.



Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup applesauce
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup pumpkin
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp all spice
chocolate chips

Cream together butter, applesauce and sugar. Add eggs and pumpkin; blend until well mixed. Stir together dry ingredients, add to pumpkin mixture, and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Place by tablespoons full on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Frost with cream cheese frosting, if desired.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Cream Cheese Frosting
3 oz cream cheese, softened
6 TBSP butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp milk
3/4 lb. powdered sugar

Cream together all ingredients until smooth. This recipe covers 1 cake or a double batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

I made these for Thanksgiving dessert. Although I didn't frost them because I forgot to get cream cheese. Still TOTALLY delicious.
