Glazed Pumpkin Spice Cookies Recipe
Since September 1st was the unofficial start of pumpkin spice season, I’m sharing an easy and delicious recipe for glazed pumpkin spice cookies.
When I made these cookies, it was about 80 degrees outside. The smell of pumpkin wafting through my house was enough for me to close my eyes and imagine cool weather.
My husband said they “taste like autumn”. Try them and let me know if you agree. 😉
