Tonight, I just wanted to make good ol' pumpkin cookies (with chocolate chips as requested by the hubby) without having to draft a recipe and hope that it works out. So I turned to my good friend google and found this fabulous recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod!
Since I am a semi-clean chef and dietitian, I swapped out the AP flour for white whole wheat flour and the semi-sweet chocolate chips for the dark chocolate variety! You know me, gotta have the whole grains and antioxidants in my treats!
