Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies with Spiced Glaze
Our dear friends have hosted many Muggle Quidditch games on their property. They are moving soon 🙁 , so last night was the last game. I usually help run the “Three Broomsticks” where we have all kind of treats from butterbeer, licorice wands, chocolate turtles, every flavor beans, popcorn, etc. I decided to make pumpkin cookies to add to the offerings. I love the flavor of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, but not the texture. They are usually to cakey for me. So I decided to add oatmeal to the mix and see what happened. The results are wonderful! I made 9 dozen cookies they are all gone now. The teenagers LOVED them! I had originally thought to make a chocolate glaze, but decided to go with a spiced glaze. These are a new family favorite!
