More pumpkin! Well, since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I figured one last pumpkin recipe wouldn’t be bad…and this is something that could be served as an appetizer or dessert. Double whammy.
The first batch of cookies, I made them the standard size with a regular size cookie scoop. After they came out, I realized that using the mini scoop would be better for making smaller cookies to serve with this dip, so the remaining cookies were smaller…and the perfect size. This dip was very easy to make, along with the cookies. Cut up some apple slices and throw in some pretzels along with the cookies with this dip, and you’ll have your guests coming back for more!
