Pudding Mix Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Instead of Friday Faves today, I have a little bonus recipe for you.  I mean, it's already a week into September and I haven't posted a pumpkin recipe yet.  It's time, people!!

I know the internet has a plethora of pumpkin cookie recipes, but this one is special.  I promise you.  Why, you ask?  Because in addition to all of the typical cookie ingredients, it has one tiny but important ingredient.  Instant pudding mix!Pudding Mix Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've used pudding mix in cookies a number of times, so I figured, why not do it with pumpkin cookies?!  I used vanilla pudding, but if you're lucky enough to find pumpkin spice pudding mix, by all means - use it!!

This recipe makes quite a few cookies so either be ready to eat some cookies or have some friends who like cookies.  I gave a plate to our neighbor kids, ate a bunch myself, and stuck the rest in the freezer.  I have to say, while these are delicious the day you make them, they are even better the next day!  My favorite way to eat them is straight out of the refrigerator with a big glass of almond milk.
