Coffee and Dessert - Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies? Just in time for the upcoming holidays, Food Network Magazine comes through with another winner. The pumpkin pie spice blended with the chocolate chips is divine! Your family and guests will have trouble stopping at one, two or even three of these delicious cookies. Make a double batch ahead of time and keep in the freezer until needed.

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cookies

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips

1. Position racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven; preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

2. In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted (cooled) butter, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. Stir in the chocolate chips.

3. Roll the dough into 1-1/2 inch balls (I used a tablespoon to scoop the batter) and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, about 14 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

The recipe says it will make about 24 cookies, but I got 36 cookies.

On our way to El Puerto De Santa Maria, we made a detour to see the Rock of Gibraltar. If you have ever seen a Prudential Financial advertisement, you will recognize the Rock of Gibraltar which is their logo. The Rock of Gibraltar is a single large block of stone 426 m (1,398 ft) high. It is a limestone peninsula and mountainous rock that jets out of the end of the British territory at the southwestern tip of Europe. It is home to a network of caves, including the famous St. Michael’s Cave, which is open to the public. At the top of the Rock, visitors can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Morocco on a clear day. Seeing the Rock from below is quite a sight, however, taking a tour to the top tells a much bigger story of how impressive it truly is. We headed out in a small 6-passenger van to make the climb up to the top of the Rock. The road is quite narrow and winds back and forth along the edge of the Rock. For someone like me who is afraid o...
