Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Roxygirl in Colorado's Note:

The secret to these cookies is baking them at a low temperature.They are dense like a scone, with a cake-like inside. Recipe from "The Market" in Denver. My teenaged son LOVES these! Tip: I flatten the cookies slightly with a greased bottom of a measuring cup, about halfway through baking, which produces a flatter cookie.

I have made these cookies TWICE already and they are so so yummy! The only adjustments I did was 1 cup of chocolate chips (semi-sweet) and I added a dash more nutmeg than called for because I like a little more of that spice flavor, adds to the holiday season! AND I baked at 350 for 12 minutes-they come out perfect promise!, GREAT cookies!

The Kids and DH loved it. I also used brown sugar instead of white and a little less than in the recipe and it was sweet enough. Will make these a lot!

These were delicious! They were a very big hit at my Thanksgiving dinner. The only thing I changed in this recipe was brown sugar instead of white sugar.
