{pumpkin chocolate chip cookies}

what beautiful & delicious looks like

Well, I never! It is hard to believe I just had a teacher exclaim, about his class, in front of another student and I, "I have never had such asinine students!" 

I couldn't even think of what asinine meant. You know what it means? 

asinine

adjective: Extremely stupid or foolish

synonym: Foolish

WELL, WELL, WELL. & to think I was probably the only one who understood your convoluted ramblings. Buddy, just you wait until your semester end review. You can bet your derivative loving brain that you won't be getting a pat on the back from me.

However, I did get to come home to happy boyfriend and a tasty batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I started making these cookies when I lived up North. & by up North, I mean Maine. It doesn't really get much northern, unless you cross into the Great White North. My sweetheart had a few guys over Sunday, and one of them loved these so much he already asked for the recipe & made them. So yes, these are good. 

ingredients.

1 c. pumpkin {I used canned}
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil {I use olive oil}

2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. milk
1 c. chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla
Nuts (optional)
