Hello Fall!

Does anyone else just love the changing colors in this season?

What is it about fall that most everyone loves? Could it be that it is also pumpkin season too?

I am sure when you look at the photos of these cookies you are thinking they don’t look exactly like a cookie – well you are right! What did I do?

Well, I scooped out the batter in a small ice cream scoop and baked them in greased mini muffin tins.

I saw the idea on Pinterest and thought I would try it.

There is a trick though. When the cookies come out of the oven they are puffed up like a muffin. Lightly press down into center to deflate and then top with a chocolate chip chunk. The chocolate chunk melts a bit into the warm cookie centre.
