Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies!

In keeping with our October pumpkin obsession, here is a recipe for DELICIOUS Welcoming Kitchen-style chocolate chip cookies that include some canned pumpkin. The pumpkin keeps these cookies moist, while boosting the nutrition (a little bit). One of the best parts of vegan, egg-free baking is that it's completely ok to taste the batter as you're cooking. So go ahead and relive your childhood desires ... lick the spoon!
