Happy Fall y'all, and pumpkin season. Is a pumpkin a fruit or vegetable? Although it tastes a bit more like a veggie in it's more organic form, it's actually a fruit. Pumpkin mixes and bakes up nice in pie, breads, cookies and more. Cookies.. October is Cookie Month! But sometimes you just don't feel like baking cookies, but you have a cookie dough craving. Here's a recipe I ran across that should do the trick, even take care of a needed chocolate fix. Or scroll down for an even BIGGER CHOCOLATE Fix w/ the Chocolate Covered Cookie Dough Oreos! Recipes from Like Mother Like Daughter.

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 5-6 TBS all purpose flour **

- 1/8 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
- 3 TBS chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar.
- Add in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and stir it all together.
- Mix in 5 Tablespoons of the flour, the salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. (If the dough is still too wet and soft, add in more flour 1 teaspoon at a time)
- Taste the cookie dough and see if you need more cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
- Mix in the chocolate chips and enjoy.
Option: Dipped in melted chocolate and put in the frig to set, makes for yummy Chocolate Pumpkin Cookie Dough Balls! Extra chocolate fix .. FIXED!
Notes:
**The FDA warns against eating raw flour. You can buy and use heat treated flour, or cook your own flour in the microwave or oven. Because this is such a small amount of flour it should only take about 30 seconds to 1 minute to get it hot in the microwave. Then let it cool for a bit, or it may melt your chocolate chips.
