Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!

I got this recipe from a friend a couple of years ago. I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin custard, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin coffee & well just about anything to do with pumpkins. I know that you typically hear more about pumpkins in the fall and around Halloween, but I know there are some more fellow pumpkin lovers out there that will enjoy this delicious recipe. These cookies are soft & sort of cake like, but so yummy! You will keep going back for more, telling yourself it is your last cookie each trip, but it won’t be ;) I did not double the recipe because I did not have to…I got about 50 cookies but you could most certainly double it and send your kids or husband off to school/work with some extra cookies to share. The recipe can be found here. Write it down, bake some now & tuck the recipe away for this fall. I cook them between 8 & 9 minutes & I like to cool them completely before eating (they just taste better when they are cooooooled). The recipe can be found here or under the “Yummy Recipes” tab at the top of the page.

Hobnail cookies…Wait! Are those edible?

I remember when I was really little and my mom made these Hobnail, better known as, chocolate chip cookies. She made sure to specify and let me know that they were not the regular Toll House cookies that she would normally make. These cookies do not have any regular sugar or any butter (just shortening). The recipe came from Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts from the Colonial times. My parents brought my brother and I there when we were younger. My mom had a tiny little cookbook that she got from the gift shop and inside was the recipe that I have shared with you all. In a compilation cookbook that my mom made for me a couple of years ago is this recipe that she dated September 4, 1986. I believe that is the date that she first made the cookies.

I tried to do a little investigating via Google to find out why the heck they are called “Hobnail” cookies. I did not have any luck :(
