pumpkin and peanut butter cookies

Autumn and Halloween in particular is a time that makes me think of America more than any other point in the year. Having lived there for a year and experienced a few Halloween festivals in the US, there’s something special for me about the run up to the day itself and celebrating with some autumnal favourites. We have had some brilliant trips to America around Halloween with kids. Most notably a fun trip through Georgia and Florida with kids where we celebrated Halloween on Saint Simons Island. It was one of the best we’ve had. So we have put together this recipe for pumpkin and peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips for a lovely bite of Halloween fun.

About homemade pumpkin and peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips

One of my favorite things is the abundance of pumpkin products you can get in the US. Everything from (my favorite) Pumpkin Ice Cream to savory versions such as pumpkin and ricotta pasta dishes.

We love cooking with pumpkin and there’s no finer excuse for baking up some delicious cookies. Here’s our recipe for our tasty pumpkin and peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips.
