Some people like chewy cookies. Some prefer crunchy cookies. What if I told you these cookies delivery the best of both worlds? They are crunchy on the outside and ooey, gooey, melty, and chewy on the inside. The pumpkin is a great addition to these for many reasons, one of them being the health benefits. Pumpkin also delivers the perfect flavor and dreamy consistency!

Have you ever combined pumpkin and chocolate in a recipe? Sounds weird, right? I used to me a skeptic until I tasted these cookies. I’m a believer through and through and can attest to the delicious combo. The pumpkin also adds moisture to this recipe which pairs scrumptiously with the melted chocolate chips.
