This is quite possibly THE best recipe for pumpkin chocolate chips! They’re moist, simple to mix up and they have a little zing that you wouldn’t expect (orange zest). This recipe originated from a good friend of mine, his sister-in-law gave him the recipe and he passed it along. In sticking with tradition I’ve decided to pass the recipe along to all of you.
These cookies are perfect for sharing with others, especially at parties, gatherings or to take to other people. This recipe will make just shy of 3 dozen.
