My co-worker Christina passed this recipe on to me. I love fall and I love the holidays and so I couldn’t wait to celebrate with some fall flavors. I would’ve never thought to do something like this but now I know the thought will never slip my mind. Nick even enjoyed these cookies and he doesn’t even like pumpkin pie. These are the perfect cookie to ring in the new season and new month.

Sidenote: Congrats to my brother and his fiance Kristen on getting engaged yesterday!!!!!! 
This month is looking good thus far.
