Pumpkin Spice | Whether you buy pumpkin spice or make it homemade this is essential. This spice blend will give your cookies a kick of warm spices that will melt in your mouth.

Delicious cookies but they did not bake for 12-14 minutes it was more like 35 and they are still almost raw.
Thanks for this tip Emily! They have always cooked within 14 minutes for me. I'm glad yours still tasted great even with the longer baking time!
