These Soft and Chewy Loaded Pumpkin Cookies are perfect with a cup of coffee on a chilly fall day.

It's an ongoing joke in our family that when we first got married my husband thought he was going to starve because I burnt everything from dinners and desserts to our microwave popcorn (in my defense, my cookies were crunchy NOT burnt). I never was taught how to cook/bake, I don't know a lot of people that were. I just cooked because I had to but now I cook/bake because I love too.

I made a few different kinds of pumpkin cookies this week since the weather here has been fall like and placed them in the pantry, one being these Soft and Chewy Loaded Pumpkin Cookies. My husband came into the bedroom eating one and said something on the lines of "Okay, where/when did you learn how to cook/bake, these are amazing" then my son chimes in "I KNOW, RIGHT?" I wish I had a batch of my 10 year ago cookies to have a little taste to see if they were actually that bad. Good thing for you is you can skip those and move right along to my Soft and Chewy Loaded Pumpkin Cookies.
