Oh pumpkin, how I love thee.
As soon as the first hints of fall begin whispering in my ear to crack open the first glorious can of pumpkin of the season, I run to the grocery store and stock up.
Now that it’s officially fall, I can post pumpkin recipes with abandon, right?!
These paleo cookies are seriously tasty.
Super soft, full of autumnal spices, and dotted with rich dark chocolate chips, they are the perfect fall treat. You absolutely do NOT need to follow the Paleo diet to make and enjoy these; anyone who likes pumpkin & chocolate chip cookies will adore them.
Are you running to the grocery store yet?
