Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sandwiches

These are the cutest, yummiest, bite-sized cookies. I made these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sandwiches for a game-watching night and received rave reviews. Careful though, their small size makes you think you’re not eating much, but they are so good you can’t stop! The base is prepared cookie dough, so they are cinch to make. The added pumpkin and spices make ordinary chocolate chip cookies phenomenal.

So, how’s it taste?

These are so good you’ll have a hard time not eating the entire batch. I’ve said it before, but I love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate. Those two were meant for each other. The chocolate chip cookie base mixed with sweet pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice is perfect. Instead of using plain cream cheese frosting, I added pumpkin pie spice to mine to really amp up the flavor. It was incredible. If you’re looking for something easy to make that will please a crowd, give these a try. You won’t regret it!
