Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I made these ginger pumpkin praline squares for my husband's birthday and he brought them to work. My husband and his co-workers really enjoyed them. But what they really enjoyed was the topping. These bars really do take a couple of hours to make. But, it is well worth the effort when you get all the compliments and "wow's".
