[秋天甜點] Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies 南瓜巧克力餅乾

I LOVE PUMPKINS!!! I LOVE AUTUMN!!!

雖然老闆回來了=苦哈哈的日子又開始了，但是我還是要過我的堅持不overly stress out的生活。這是最近紓壓做出的南瓜巧克力餅乾。特地找了一個蛋糕口感的軟綿綿配方，結果相當讓我滿意。熱愛蛋糕的我喜歡這餅乾的原因是因為這根本是餅形狀的蛋糕嘛! (跟單烤muffin top有不一樣啦,口感有比較細一點。）


加入南瓜泥的配方可以減低油量，也可以增加 Fiber & Vit. A 的含量噢!

* Since this recipe is for cakey cookies, I check the doneness with a toothpick!

Cool cookies on cookie racks and enjoy them with coffee, tea or hot chocolate!!!!

I don't really make cookies that often since it's difficult to reduce the fat portion and I'm trying to watch my figure, but this recipe is really nice and less unhealthy.

I eat 3 cookies a day recently!!! (oops...)
