These cookies changed my life. Not really, but they were my first step toward liking pumpkin. I used to hate pumpkin until I tasted these Pumpkin Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies. We used to go to an annual wine tasting/swapping party at a friends house every year. Someone always brought these cookies – I really didn’t know they were pumpkin and just started eating them and thought they were delicious – fluffy, spicy and minty. Then when they told me it was pumpkin I was really surprised. After that I tried other pumpkin things and started to really like it and today I am addicted.
Here is the recipe to the famous pumpkin mint cookies, they are minty and you are probably thinking pumpkin and mint, hmm that is a strange combination – but these are delicious.
It can be hard to find mint chocolate chips but I order them on Amazon.com. Also in this picture I added a few white chocolate just for fun.
Other exciting news today is that I have 3 months to go with my pregnancy – time is flying by!

November 16, 2011 at 3:07 amI love cookies but i have never tried eating a cookie out of pumpkin. It kind of make me think that any vegetables can be used to make a cookie. That can be a good idea though and a healthy one.

March 20, 2015 at 11:11 amIf you want to know the crystal clear details it is better
to view just about any online store web sites explaining the actual product or
service information using elements. There are
hundreds to choose from, allowing you the choice of matching the
type with your own health and fitness goals. Having said that, the study has shown that
just about anything that can maximize the metabolism, also can raise the weight
reduction even if the human being is just resting.
