Since moving to Utah I have discovered pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I've never seen these anywhere but Utah, so I was wondering, have any of you seen these outside the state? Where did you see them? I suspect they are a regional thing.

Edit: if you've seen them elsewhere, were they avaliable at the grocery store's bakery department?

Nah, we had 'em in California too! I even have a nifty recipe for them somewhere...

I lived in New Orleans for 4 yrs and they had them. They are awesome

I think Utah things are fry sauce and playdough ice cream.

I'VE never heard of playdoh ice cream!

i work at the british bakery on 7th east and we have pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. or, well, we did, until we replaced them with "soft ginger cookies". i know not why the soft prefix is necessary.

It's the best ice cream, it's a mix of strawberry banana and something else lol. It's yellow red and blue colors.

Soft ginger cookies are not near as good as pumpkin chocolate chip lol, but I have noticed that anything pumpkin tends to be only for Oct-Jan and then it's gone.

Where are these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies? Great Harvest on 9th & 9th in SLC? I can't remember what kind of delicious cookie I had there awhile back, but maybe that was it. Or maybe it was oatmeal chocolate chip. D'oh I forgot!
Anyways, I really want a pumpkin chocolate chip one now :)

I got some last week at Albertsons. I think I've also seen them at harmons.

Well, I'm in the midatlantic now (boo weather; i miss snow) and I think I've had pumpkin chocolate chip cookies here.
Or maybe I'm mixing up college memories and childhood memories again. Dammit!

Utah food things: definitely fry sauce. (YUM.)
SLC Trib humor columnist Robert Kirby (is he still around?) joked that ice cream is like our version of crack/alcohol/tobacco all in one.
Green jello, or, for the non-mormons, green jello and vodka shots. (yuuuum)
I've also heard that funeral potatoes are big in Mormon families, although I wouldn't know because my family isn't Mormon... we eat scalloped potatoes all the time and it's nothing to do with funerals.
