Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles

It's been a little dreary lately so I have been consuming enough hot tea to float the renowned Spanish Armada of 1588. Also, what makes hot tea even better? COOKIES!

That's right. I am eating cookies. Made from butter and real sugar. There are no substitutes in these bad boys. They are soft and sugary and delicious. Oh how their soft selves seem to pair delightfully with my warm beverage.

These are pumpkin spice, not actual pumpkin cookies. Instead of the normal spices used in snickerdoodles, these use pumpkin spice.
