This past weekend, I decided to bake up some small treats for my 3.5 year old daughter. As a fairly health conscious mom, I would rather make homemade cookies than buy prepackaged cookies to pack in my daughter's lunches.


I had some canned pumpkin puree and mini chocolate chips in the pantry, so I decided to combine the two into these mini chocolate chip pumpkin cookies. I mean, who doesn't love pumpkin and chocolate combination? I found the best recipe chocolate chip pumpkin cookie recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction and substituted mini chocolate chips for the regular size chocolate chips, and it turned they turned out great!


These little pumpkin mini chocolate chip cookies are the perfect Fall treat for kids and adults.

Mini chocolate chip pumpkin cookies are deliciously moist and fluffy.

Simply start by combining wet ingredients and dry ingredients in two separate bowls.

Combine with wet and dry ingredients before stirring in the chocolate chips.

Chilling the dough before baking makes it easier to form into small, round cookies.

These little cookies are the perfect size for a school lunch, after dinner, or after school treat.
