Happy Saturday! Raise your hand if you’re seeing pumpkins at every market you go to this season!? 🎃 A farmers market is actually where my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies started. I tried a cookie at the Proctor Farmers Market in Tacoma, WA and loved that combination enough to want to make my own. Pumpkin, warm spices, chocolate chips… and that soft, almost cake-like texture. That became the recipe I shared on JavaCupcake. So with pumpkins showing up everywhere again, I wanted to bring those cookies back to your kitchen. And since we’re already opening a can of pumpkin, I’m including my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread, too. Because you don’t need fresh pumpkin for either of these. Plain canned pumpkin puree works! Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies These are thick, fluffy pumpkin cookies with mini chocolate chips throughout. Especially good while they’re still a little warm and the chocolate is melty. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread If you’d rather bake a loaf, this one’s got chocolate chips mixed into the batter and scattered over the top. A slice with your Sunday morning coffee sounds pretty good to me. Get the pumpkin bread recipe That’s what I’m sending your way this weekend. Happy Pumpkin Baking! Betsy 💜 |

Happy Saturday! Matthew and I are headed to Auburn’s 61st Veterans Parade this morning, and apparently my first instinct is still, “Should I bring a pan of something?” Three generations of military family life will do that to you. When I was a military spouse, I baked all the time. I’d know who I was baking for before I knew what I was making. I miss that part. I’m making Roxana’s oatmeal cherry chocolate chip bars. Yes, I know it’s pumpkin season. The pumpkin will be fine. I’m opening a can...
Happy Saturday! If you're wondering what to make for breakfast this weekend, I've got you! 🍎 My Apple Pie Pancakes have been a fall favorite on JavaCupcake since I first shared them back in 2022, and there's a good reason readers keep coming back to this recipe. They're soft, fluffy, full of cinnamon and warm apple flavor, and taste like a little slice of apple pie for breakfast. Here's what makes them so good: Applesauce goes right into the pancake batter! It adds moisture and apple flavor...
Hi friends, Quick note to say: if you’re anywhere near Haymarket, VA this Saturday, something quietly good is happening. The Holiday Bazaar + tree lighting is one of those small-town afternoons where streets close, music drifts, kids zigzag between booths, and time slows down just enough to notice it. If you’ve ever lived overseas — especially in Europe — you might recognize the feeling. Holiday markets had a way of doing that. This feels like our version. I’ll be there with Weld + Wire...
