Chocolate dipped pumpkins on cooling rack

I have combined two of my loves in this Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookie, pumpkin and dark chocolate. A soft cake like pumpkin spiced cookie mixed with rich dark chocolate is just pure autumn Heaven. If you have read any of my previous post I am a bit of a chocolate snob and I tend to like higher quality chocolate . I usually like to use Ghiradelli Dark chocolate melting wafers . I rarely melt chocolate in the microwave for many reasons, mainly it ends in disaster for me. This dipping chocolate melts beautifully in the microwave. If you love fall cookies you have to try my Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies a try.

I followed the directions on the package for the microwave. I melted about a 1/2 cup at a time , refilling my dipping cup as it would get low.
