With Thanksgiving around the corner we’re constantly looking for new and exciting recipes to try out. Often times though, we get stuck in a rut and stick to the traditional. We end up cooking and baking the same things over and over again for Thanksgiving. So why not step out of your comfort zone with these delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches! They have the same classic flavors we’re looking for during this time of year, but are still something new and exciting!
