This recipe makes a lot! I halved it and still came out with 66 cookies/cakes. I wouldn't call these cookies--much more like little cakes--very moist--they were sticky the next day. I used sliced almonds instead of walnuts and they tasted really good. The texture was odd, unlike anything I've ever eaten. When I placed them on the cookie sheet, they were in little mounds and I expected them to melt down and flatten as cookies do but they didn't. Whatever shape you place them in on the rack is the shape they will have when baked. The batter would work well in molds or rings to create an autumn treat. Good flavor but I added more cinnamon and nutmeg because I like these flavors. My husband's golf buddies ate them up!

These are more like little cakes than cookies - I've kept them in the fridge and am having one or two at breakfast time - like a personal pumpkin bread. Taste great, but not really much of a cookie.

I hate to say it after all of the reave reviews below but honestly, these cookies were horrible. They did not spread, were very bland tasting and where the consistency of little sponges.

Chocolate chip & pumpkin, what a combination! After making this recipe I thought the pumpkin taste was too bitter and I found I wanted to taste the spices more, so next time I used 1 & 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg...also, 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 white sugar, and 1/2 unsalted butter and 1/2 shortening. I also made them with and without the walnuts, and they're much better with them. They're a great, unusual addition to my Christmas cookie baking and were a hit with everyone who's tried them.

This is a wonderful recipe. I added a bit more vanilla and nutmeg since my family loves those flavors and the cookies turned out great. They were eaten faster than I could take them out of the oven!

I INADVERTENTLY used rye flour instead (OOPS!) and these came out fantastic anyway! I was going to make whoopie pies out of them by connecting two cookies with cream cheese frosting but I opted for just frosting one at a time. Great recipe!

I made this before my kids got home from school with their friends. By 4:00, ALL the cookies were gone. I made another batch for our family later that evening, and when I woke up the next morning, those were all gone as well! My family LOVED them! :)
