Pumpkin and chocolate are a delicious combination! My pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are sure to become a gluten free family favorite!
The original recipe called for milk chocolate chips. However, I have never been a fan of milk chocolate. It was not until my husband introduced me to dark chocolate that I liked chocolate at all. Now I am hooked! I eat dark chocolate almost every day and sometimes twice a day!
The dark chocolate compliments the pumpkin. These cookies are moist and cake-like making a tall glass of cold milk the perfect accompaniment.
