Pumpkin-Honey Chocolate Chip Cookies

"Soft, plump cookies packed with pumpkin, grated carrot and chocolate chips. So easy to make and not too sweet. Created for RSC Lucky #13. Thanks to reviewer input I've clarified the portioning of batter & I'd like to note that these are basically a "muffin top" instead of a crispy cookie. If you like the tops of the muffins but find the bottoms too dry, look no further! This is a great alternative to throwing out or gagging down a dry muffin bottom. lol BTW - Nothing against muffins, which I love in whole & make often. ;)"

  1. What a very special cookie! They almost look like little cakes. It has a pumpkin spice flavor and I love how the cardamom kind of trails off in the end. They would be perfect with a cup of coffee and I know my DBF is looking forward to having them for breakfast. I'm going to have to hide a few for myself. I cut the recipe in half (there are only 2 of us after all) and otherwise followed the directions as listed. I think walnuts or chopped dried pineapple would be good in these too- but to be honest, they are just perfect as they are, so why mess with perfection? Thank you chef! Edit 3/12: Today I asked DBF what he wanted me to bake for him- what ever he wanted- He requested these! (I should have known, he always wants these!) I love them too and have made them countless times this past year. Thanks Tinkerbell.
     
  2. This is a delicious recipe but I would not call it a cookie. I would call it a muffin. it is the exact consistency and sweetness of a muffin; so if you want muffins or something to enjoy with breakfast this is perfect! If you're expecting cookies this might miss the mark.

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
