I Love baking...

My boys love cooking and baking and I've been in a baking mood. I think it's the weather and the fact that the holidays are upon us. We make something at least once a week. I made some yummy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies last week and told some friends I'd send them the recipe. They are really moist and yummy for anyone who would like to try them out. This makes a ton of cookies!!
