Oh Autumn, I love you. Always such a yummy season, the crisp nights, the foilage, getting my sweaters out of winter storage and even better, my pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Although I totally use canned pumpkin for these cookies, I only make them up to Thanksgiving then they go away till next fall, just seems like the right thing to do. I don't follow to many rules but I am a stickler for this one. 
(I have my priorities totally in check)
Please notice the real pumpkin I did NOT use in the making of these epically awesome cookies...
