Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe this year on allrecipes.com that I absolutely love. Eric is usually not a fan of treats with anything pumpkin, but both he and I downed several batches of these this fall. It's definitely a new favorite that I hope to make for years to come!
