On the way home tonight I was suddenly inspired to make Pumpkin Brownies. Unfortunately, I didn’t have cocoa so I had to make some changes to my inspiration. 
I rummaged through my cupboards and decided I had the goods to make
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Cakies
Ingredients:
1 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2tsp. cinnamon (I like a lot)
1/2 c. pumpkin
1/2 c. egg sub or 2 eggs
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/3c. brown sugar
1/3c. chocolate chips (plus and extra handful for eating)
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the dry ingredients (except choc chips). In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients. Combine. Add chocolate chips.
Drop spoonfuls onto a sprayed cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes or until firm.
Warning: These “cookies” come out more cake-y than cookie-y. This recipe would probably do better as a muffin or bread. I love cookies, so I always put things in cookie form 🙂 
Served with milk 🙂 Happy Tuesday to me. 
Before my cookie baking I was scrounging around at work trying to find snacks. I had this new bar and baby carrots, but they didn’t do much for my belly. The bar tastes good, but was a bit too airy to fill me up.
When I found this bag of popcorn you’d have thought I found a $20.00. It was like my lucky day!!!
The weather has been crazy here the last week. First it was 100 degrees out of no where, then it was super cold and rainy today. Earthquake weather. Definitely earthquake weather. Speaking of, I don’t have a kit 🙁
I took advantage of the gloomy weather and made one of my favorite, but often forgotten dinners – grilled cheese and tomato soup. 
Seriously, I love this meal. LOVE.
Almost as much as I love Ben taking my picture after I got home and put on comfy clothes and look sleepy. 
At least I had pre-revenge when I took this picture of him during dinner…
Question: What’s your favorite “easy” dinner?
P.S. If you haven’t given all your votes away for the Foodbuzz Challenge 3, I’d love to have it 🙂
I just couldn’t depart your website prior to suggesting that I really enjoyed the standard info a person provide for your visitors? Is going to be back often in order to check up on new posts
I keep listening to the newscast speak about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the most excellent site to get one. Could you advise me please, where could i acquire some?
Even though I just took pumpkin chocolate chip muffins out of the oven, I want to go bake these too. They look amazing!
Monica! I made those cookies this weekend and they literally looked identical! I used spice cake mix (2 boxes), one 29 oz can of pumpkin, and a bag of chocolate chips. They are totally cakey aren’t they? The bf hates cookies if they are crispy (what’s wrong with him?!?!) so these are disappearing quickly!
Oh, you had to go and say earthquake weather didn’t you? I’m up in SB – no earthquakes please… 😉
Cookies? Si si!!
I voted! Those cookies look bomb. I had pumpkin spice oatmeal this morning — gotta love fall. And my go-to easy dinner is … you guessed it – oatmeal. I couldn’t live without that stuff. Seriously.
I love pumpkin cookies – I just opened a big can of pumpkin so I’ve got tons in my fridge.
Tomato soup and grilled cheese is one of MY FAVES. Especially enjoyed while in comfy sweats.
One of my favorite comfort meals is savory oatmeal or mac and cheese. Delish!
A cakey cookie? Yes, please.
My favorite quick and easy meal is definitely pasta and sauce. There is just something I love about a big bowl of pasta smothered in sauce. It just makes life better.
I like anything that can be turned into a cookie or a French fry. These look tasty!
I am a pasta lover. When in doubt, I make some kind of pasta for dinner.
Okay, first of all, those cookies look fantastic. My mom’s pumpkin cookies come out cake like and that’s the only way I like them!
And second, how awesome that your hot sauce sits on the dinner table as a staple. It’s like the salt and pepper. Something is just not right if the bottle of Chalua is missing from the center of the dinner table. 🙂
Cookies are seriously the best dessert form. lol It is funny because I was craving tomato soup yesterday because I smelled it in the hallway of my condo complex. I didn’t have in the house to make though. 🙁 My favorite easy dinner is tuna melts
You look adorable in your “comfies.” And you said “until firm.” TWSS. Goodnight, don’t forget to tip your waitstaff.
I like ’em firm. But, what would have been the proper baker word to use?
mmmmm pumpkin cookies? I have got to make these!
I love that bottle of tapatio in the background of the Ben picture. I love tapatio more than anything. You guys rule.
My favorite easy dinner is similar to yours – tomato soup and whole wheat toast with butter!
