These cookies are da bomb! Thanks for reminding me that it's pumpkin season!
I wish it were pumpkin season all year long. But, then I would have to roll myself to the cupboard to get the ingredients and that's not a pretty thought. As long as I make enough to give some away, we will survive happily through pumpkin season.
I made these last week for my visiting teachers-Thank you Helena for a timeless recipe and thank you Traci for posting it and the pics.
