If you like soft cookies and autumn flavors, then this recipe is for you. I saw this pin a few weeks ago and finally had the opportunity to try it last night.
Tonight Hubs gushed about how much he loves soft cookies and I enjoyed one with a glass of milk. Mmm, delish! And since he and I don’t need to eat 48 cookies (although, we’d have no problem doing so), I brought a bunch to work and my coworkers loved them! Ok, enough accolades…
I followed the recipe for the most part, except I used dried cherries instead of cranberries, added walnuts and a handful more of white chocolate chips because I didn’t think 1 cup was enough! You’ll love the pumpkin and white chocolate combination, and with the tartness from the cranberries… I dare you to just have one!
