To tell the truth I was never really a big fan of Pumpkin or Squash. But since starting An Italian in my Kitchen, I have totally changed my mind, I now look forward to Fall just so I can start making my own Pumpkin Puree (no canned stuff in Italy) to add to some delicious recipes. And these cookies turned out just the way I like, thick and full of chips. I always have a hard time describing a cookie, so if you have ever made these Peanut Butter Cookies or these Chocolate Chip Cookies then you will know the texture is basically the same as those.
