I. LOVE. AUTUMN. Like, seriously love Autumn.
Feeling that nip in the air makes me positively giddy. Red Starbucks cup make my heart beat a little faster. Dreams of fireplaces, snuggly scarves, and warm blankets are on constant rotation in my mind. And pumpkins. Oh pumpkins. Gourds galore. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin everything. Can you tell I love pumpkin? To commemorate the first days of fall, I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and spiced it up with chai notes. These cookies are meant to be more cake-like, and not thin, chewy cookies.
