Soft, pillowy cookies with a hint of sweet pumpkin & chunks of dark chocolate are baked within a sugary spiced crust in these Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Chunk Snickerdoodles...
Once upon a time, I turned my nose up at the thought of pairing pumpkin with chocolate. Typically I live by the cardinal rule of "don't knock it until you have tried it" when it comes to food and recipes, but I just knew I would absolutely not like pumpkin and chocolate together...
That is until I finally tried it. ;)
And from that first taste, I was hooked, my friends.
Come November I will be attending my very first in-person food blogger conference, Mixed. I went with a smaller, more intimate gathering for my first blogger conference so as not to overwhelm me and send my anxiety into high gear.
(Plus, I am slightly stoked that the conference is being held at the same resort that many scenes of Dirty Dancing were filmed at. Yes, I am a child of the 80's. ;) )
I am sure some of you all are wondering what in the world a food blogger conference and my new found love for pumpkin and chocolate have to do with each other, right? Well, the good folks at Dixie Crystals are not only one of the many amazing sponsors of Mixed this year, but they are also hosting a pre-conference baking contest for the attendees! And three of us will earn a free ticket to Mixed. You all know that I just had to enter. ;)
My entry are these perfect for fall, amazingly delicious Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Chunk Snickerdoodles...
