I love pumpkin! My sister grew the one I used in this recipe and I was so excited to make so many recipes with it.
I also had some lavender from my garden and wanted to combine the two, so here is what I came up with.
The lavender is barely there which I thought was just right. It added just a bit of depth into the traditional pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, to which I also added coconut sugar and spices for a perfectly rich fall treat!
Enjoy with a glass of milk!

Much like traditional pumpkin cookies with chocolate, but with just a hint of lovely lavender.
