    Thanks Silvergurl518 for sharing this recipe, but my kids love to have dark chocolate cookies, its there favorite. I would be sharing its recipe soon and will even try the one share by you. I have been planning to sell my cookies for those people who require it as corporate gifts. Soon I am starting a small bakery with my elder sister who is also a book baker. Hoping for the best.

    Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies have been my FAVORITE cookies since I was a small child.

    I did try making these a few weeks ago with whole wheat flour and it turned out pretty good.
    When I make these next week, I will try the adjustments this recipe makes and see how they turn out.

    Thanks a bunch!!!!

    ok I made these...I did alter the recipe since I just used what I had on hand without needing to go shopping. they are wonderful!!!
    I used old fashioned rolled oats instead of whole wheat flour. I processed 1 cup in food processor left 2nd cup whole. I didn't have baking soda and didn't need milk. I also used only 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. I used 1/3 cup of brown sugar not packed and 1/4 cup splenda. My version made 29 small cookies (using a small cookie scoop) at 54 calories each.
