Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies with Maple Glaze

Hello fluffy, puffy, pumpkin, chocolate, sweet deliciousness! These little morsels are gonna rock your world! We are totally jumping on the “all things pumpkin” right now but we kind of have to, right? I mean, it’s fall and fall just screams PUMPKIN!  We are all in and we are sure that you are going to thank us after you make these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. The inspiration for these treats goes back many years. The original recipe was distributed by a friend after a holiday party because everyone (including me) was freaking out and just had to have it. Well, needless to say, they were loaded with a ton of butter, sugar and other overly indulgent ingredients so we gave them a GTK makeover. Our version was created to lighten them up a bit but to ensure we did not compromise the delicious flavor…which we happen to believe is a perfectly logical reason to eat more!! Right? Bring these to your next holiday party or event and you will be the star of the show!! Oh, and make extra because they will go fast!

The maple glaze is literally “the icing on the cake” (or cookie) here! This part takes this cookie to the next level. It’s really so easy to make and totally worth it!
