My freshman year of college I had a roommate named Shelle. She was an amazing baker and loved to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I of course, loved to eat them. Baking was a de-stresser for Shelle so we definitely were surrounded by goodies during finals. I was lucky enough to get a copy of Shelle’s pumpkin cookies before moving out and had the pleasure of making them last month. They were soft, gooey and delicious. You really can’t pass up this opportunity to try them yourself.
