Notes
- You can make your own pumpkin pie spice. This makes 3 teaspoons, but you only need ½ teaspoon for this recipe. Mix the following ingredients together in a small bowl:
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Take care to not over mix these cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined so the cookies do not become tough.
