A few weeks ago, I made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from a cookbook I have.
I was less than impressed. (I still ate about half of them.. you know.. just to be sure)

So I screwed around with the recipe.. a lot. So much so that you wouldn't recognize it so I'm going to go ahead and call it my own. It's what I once heard Paul McCartney say he used to do with songwriting.. and if it's good enough for Sir Paul, it's good enough for me.
