Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Seed Cookies?
The Oregonian reports that the Red Fox Bakery in McMinnville, Oregon produces whopping chocolate studded pumpkin seed cookies under the rationale that the pumpkin seeds are wholesome and nutritious. But with nearly each cookie containing an ounce of Bernard Callebaut bittersweet chocolate, this cookie loses its status as health food. The pumpkin seeds are actually mixed in to lend an unusual texture that contrasts with the silky chocolate.
It sounds like an excellent cookie, and an especially good one to release around Halloween time when we’re all gutting helpless pumpkins. (I bake the seeds myself - I love em!)
