And just like that, it’s fall!! If you know me, you know that I LOVE FALL. PSL’s, pumpkin patches, hocus pocus, trick or treating, give me allll the fall things…and now the joy of creating all the fall memories with my kiddos while they’re little and everything is magical.

I also LOVE fall baking and have actually posted quite a few fall recipes!

• Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling (better than Starbucks!)

• Healthy-ish Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

• DIY PSL

• Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles

• Pumpkin Spice Scones

• Melt in your mouth Pumpkin Cookies

The other night I was craving a pumpkin cookie but I didn’t want a fluffy one, I wanted a thin and chewy one and you guys, this one is all that and a bag of chips! (any 90’s kids remember that saying :p )

Here you go, and just warning, they are ridiculously delicious. We ate 4 DOZEN of these over the weekend…whoops!

And it has chocolate chips too! So dang good. Also cornstarch is added to the flour to help the muffin become more tender!! You guys. My family gobbled these up. I wish I made a triple batch.
