Chocolate Truffle Cookies

I've never really been much of a cookie baker.  Cookies have always seemed more time consuming because you have to scoop each one out onto a cookie sheet and you can only bake a few sheets at a time.  Sometimes they spread out too much and are too thin.  Then there's always the problem with such a short baking time that my cookies are always either overdone and too crispy or not done enough.  So I don't make cookies very often, even though I really like to eat them.  Every once in a while, I get a hankering for cookies and quite often my hankering includes chocolate too.  Luckily, I found this recipe for Chocolate Truffle Cookies that soothes my inner cookie monster and turn out beautifully too.

Pumpkin Scones

Pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors.  I consider it a flavor because I'm not much of a fan of it as a food by itself, but used in baked goods it is so very yummy... pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies and pumpkin scones.  Although it's a Fall food, you don't have to wait until the leaves start to turn to pick up a can of pumpkin puree and make these Harvest Pumpkin Scones from King Arthur Flour.
