Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Long ago, we perfected an oaty version of chocolate chip cookies on our blog. We’ve made a few small changes to revamp this favorite recipe for fall. Thanks to plenty of pumpkin and hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, these cookies pair perfectly with all of your tailgate favorites … especially hot toddies. Stay warm out there...The Fitchen.
