These Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies are your favourite pumpkin spice latte in cookie form. I came up with this recipe for myself because… well…
My friends, I’m going to admit something that I’m pretty embarrassed to admit.
Here goes…
I don’t like Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
There. I said it. Feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest.
If I’m honest, this actually upsets me a little bit. What is wrong with me??? I love all the spices, I love pumpkin, and lord knows I love me some coffee. What is the problem here!
Until I figure it out I’m just gonna stick with these cookies. These cookies are heaven.
Chewy, spiced with pumpkin pie spice, a little kicky from the espresso, and they have real pumpkin in them without being cakey. They are truly delicious.
