It’s National Pumpkin Day! So, naturally, I had to post this.
Fall is my favorite season of the year. In the Valley, we don’t get to see the beauty of changing leaves the way most of the US gets to. We just go from hot & humid, to cool & rainy, and then hot & humid again. On occasion we get a nice cold front, but not too often.
While we were in Austin, I picked up a jar of Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter at Trader Joe’s. Why? Because I love all things pumpkin.
Can’t you tell? The moment I saw the jar of Pumpkin Pie Spice Cookie Butter, I knew what I was gonna make with it. I actually picked up two jars, because I was really excited about this recipe.

I made these cookies for an event at church this weekend, along with a couple of other baked items that are also pumpkin spiced. I love making people happy with goodies and sweets, and look forward to events when I have the time to bake. Hopefully they are a hit!
These cookies also make for a great gift to tell someone you’re thankful for them.
If you make them, let me know how you like them.
