Soft, under-baked cookies are like pillows of happiness. Especially when they are pumpkin spiced.
The apple peanut butter “bear paw” cookies that were posted this summer were so delicious Leung and I had to formulate a pumpkin version. So when we were hit with cookie cravings and had the chance to test out recipes for the blog last week, we quickly took this opportunity to make these
These are chewy and chock full of chocolate chunks, perfect for any cookie craving. I think you should go to your grocery store and grab a can of pumpkin puree and make these right now, so when the sweet tooth hits, you’ll have something to look forward to and reach for!

Recipe adapted from our Apple Peanut Butter “Bear Paw” Cookies. The yield is less for this pumpkin version because we made the cookies larger.
Ahhh these cookies have the perfect fluff factor, almost pillow-like consistency! Pumpkin and chocolate is such a great combo 🙂
