MMMMmmmmmmm... look at this cookie. I think I will take a bite.
Wait. Ah. Ah.
Ahhhhhhhhh.
Choooooooooo!!! Please excuse me! This is so embarrassing. I meant to tell you about these delicious cookies. They are pumpkin. And chocolate. Of course.
I really love pumpkin things. Most especially in autumn. Pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin-shaped candy. But it seems like, come Christmas, with it's dazzling candy canes, sugar cookies and wassail, I plum forget about pumpkin. Ya know? Well I'm bringing pumpkin back into our lives this winter season. With these cookies. Also, next time you see Evan, would you thank him for the flattering photos up above? Skiing makes me feel pretty.Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Cookies:

1/2 c. unsalted butter, room temperature
1 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 15 0z. can pumpkin puree (or 1 3/4 c. of the real stuff)
