Fall is my favorite time of year. Growing up my mom made everything pumpkin flavored thing she could in the fall. Pumpkin cookies, muffins, bread, pie. Shhhh….don’t tell…I actually didn’t like pumpkin for a long time because it was a little pumpkin overkill at our house. So today I wanted to share some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and a fun printable tag. What better way to bring in the new season than with a plate full of cookies and a happy note?
- 1 c. shortening
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 c. canned pumpkin
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 c. flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ bag of chocolate chips
- Cream the first four ingredients together.
- Then add the last ingredients one at a time mixing well.
- Place on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes (I just do 10 mins, I go for underdone rather than overdone).
I sometimes mix ½ milk chocolate & ½ semi sweet chocolate chips.
Make your cookies & print out a page of Happy Fall tags.
For personal use only.
Drop them off at friends or neighbors before your family eats them all up.
These cookies would be perfect for new neighbors too.
You could attach a Welcome to the Neighborhood card to them.

So cute and clever! Thank you for the free printables Mique
Thanks Tasha!! Glad you like them. ;) xo
There is a super duper simple pumpkin cookie recipe that I like to use every year. Take 1 box of spice cake mix, 1 small can of pumpkin and blend until mixed thoroughly. Add a cup or so of chocolate chips OR raisins OR cranberries, etc. Spoon on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Very easy and yummy!
Sounds great and easy Kim. My sister does something similar. I’m all for easy. Thanks for sharing!
Can’t wait to make these, Mique!! I love anything pumpkin, and so do my kids. My husband, not so much. The printables are AdOrAbLe!!! What a fabulous idea. And, I have everything in my pantry except the canned pumpkin. I need to stock up on that now that fall is around the corner, my kids love Pumpkin French Toast, too. Yummmmm!
Sharon- I hope you guys love them as much as we do! (except your husband ;)) Glad you like the printables too! I need the recipe for pumpkin french toast- YUMMMMM!! Have a great weekend. xo, Mique

Thanks Randi!! Glad you like it. ;) xo
Oh. My. Gosh. ….I just whipped up a batch of these cookies. I couldn’t believe what I was greeted with! They’re cake-like! I was pleasantly surprised! We like our cookies bigger and so it took a little longer to bake (14 mins), but they turned out moist and fluffy – like eating a pumpkin pancake or cupcake. Delicious! Thank you so much for sharing!
these sound great!!! love it.
