The best pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

These are melt-in-your-mouth yummy. The frosting has a butter caramel flavor and the cookies are so soft...delicious! I got this recipe from a friend a few years ago when she brought these to a Halloween party we were throwing. She says they are her all time favorite pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and I must agree. Let me know what you think!Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mmmm...these look so delicious! I'm going to make these tomorrow. Quick question: for the icing, how much brown sugar do I need? :) Hope they taste as yummy as they look!

Erin said...

Yum, Britt! I made these tonight for my neighbors and they were every bit as good as you said they would be! :) Thanks!

PS - Tiff George - I assumed that it was 1/2 cup brown sugar, and it worked great.

Those look SO good! As soon as I show them to Griff he'll be begging me to make them with him. Or maybe just FOR him. :)

Erica said...

Can't wait to make these. About how many cookies does this recipe make?

Brittany said...

Hi Erica, You know I can't remember how many cookies it makes... about 3 cookie sheets, I think. I usually put 12 cookies on a sheet. That is definitely a guess though - sorry!! I will pay more attention next time I make them!

Mindy said...

Mmm... I made these tonight... I was right, Griff begged. :) And we were not disappointed. They were SO good! And we didn't even make the icing. I'll have to do that next time.
