Pumpkin Spice Cookies
On Saturday I took a mini trip along Lake Michigan to check out the fall foliage, the oranges, reds and yellows were absolutely stunning. Along the way there were a variety of adorable towns filled with equally unique shops. At one stop I went into a bakery and enjoyed a chai tea latte and a pumpkin spice cookie. The combination was fall perfection. Since Sunday was a rainy day I decided to come up with my own pumpkin spice cookie, the result is everything I had hoped for (and it tasted almost exactly like the one from the bakery).
(the pudding makes the cookies soft)
