Recipe of the Week – Spicy Pumpkin Cookies

There is a big problem with these cookies. They sometimes vanish before you can even ice them. On the plus side — They are super easy to make, make your kitchen smell wonderful, put smiles on your family’s faces and you probably have everything you need in the cupboard.

We have some guests sitting by the fireplace right now hot cider in one hand  and cookie in the other. – perfect November day treat.
