I have seen a lot of recipes recently for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies but this one has a little bit of a different twist with the Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.  Wow, are they amazing!  

I made a batch with the frosting and one without and they were delicious either way.  I think it depends on the amount of sweetness you want.

You will need:

4 C. Flour

2 tsp. Baking Powder

2 tsp. Cinnamon

1 tsp. Allspice

2 tsp. Nutmeg

1 tsp. Salt

2 C. Margarine

2 C. Sugar

2 Eggs, beaten

2 Tbl. Vanilla Extract

15 ounce can of Pumpkin

2 C. Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

3-1 ounce Semi Sweet Chocolate Squares

3 ounces softened Cream Cheese

½ tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 ¼ C. Powdered Sugar

Coffee or Half and Half to thin frosting

• Gather ingredients

• Beat butter and sugar together until creamy. 

• Add vanilla, eggs and pumpkin and combine well.  Then add flour and spice mixture to the pumpkin batter.

• Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased or parchment paper lined baking sheet

• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes then cool completely

• For frosting melt 3 squares of semi sweet chocolate

• Add chocolate to the cream cheese and vanilla and mix well

• Add powdered sugar until well combined then add coffee or half and half to thin frosting

• I added about 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee to the frosting to get the right thickness

These were so good!  They can definitely be served with or without the frosting.

I hope you enjoy the recipe
