Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

No list of fall-themed recipes would be complete without a good pumpkin themed snack, and this one never disappoints. The pumpkin flavor and chocolate chips blend so nicely together. When warm, these cookies really seem to melt in your mouth. If you like them on the softer side (like I do) take them out of the oven a couple minutes early.
