Yum! I don’t bake often, and I admit I am really not that good at it, but these are foolproof!
But this recipe is SO good, and the perfect cookie to enjoy on a brisk fall day. I got this recipe out of my (former) neighborhood cookbook, from my good friend Debi.
I distinctly remember about a year ago (probably the last time I baked cookies) her son was at my house and the boys were enjoying whatever cookie I had just made. Her son informed me my freshly baked cookie was “good” but “not as good as his mom’s pumpkin white chocolate chip cookies”. I didn’t forget that, he definitely raised the bar–or at least piqued my curiosity to see just how good those cookies really were.
So, when I found I had the recipe in this fabulous cookbook my neighbors had joined together to make a few years back, I had to try it. I think that her son was right on, these are really good! Just be warned, the recipe makes enough to share.

Happy Halloween everyone! I am off to start packing as we road trip for our Halloween weekend. I am so excited to see my friends, take the kids trick or treating in their old ‘hood and especially for a wine date with my girls Terry and Trinity…Have fun and be safe everyone!
Thanks for stopping by!
These sound wonderful, and I think I already have all of the ingredients. Adding this to my favorites just in case I get an extra minute this week-end. I prefer cooking over baking, because I am not a wonderful baker at all!
Teresa…let me know how they turn out! Have a great weekend.
