Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Last night was time to clean out the cupboards at Casa de Domestica. I made these cookies trying to use up leftovers in my cupboard and fridge. You might as well call these the “everything but the kitchen sink” cookies. These delicious bites have toasted pecans, chocolate chips, raisins, oatmeal, and even some leftover pumpkin that I had lying around. The result was soft, chewy, and delicious!
