Pumpkin Toffee Cookies


Bare with me for a second.  I wanted to make cookies...pumpkin cookies.


I wanted them to have a little something special.  Chocolate chips were a no brainer.







But I wanted more.  And so I thought...pumpkin spiced lattes. 

Pumpkin and coffee = goodness.




When I think of coffee, I think of toffee.  Maybe it is because they rhythm.  It could be a stretch.  I went from coffee to toffee. 

My cookie was born.




And they were good.  Really good.  A bit more cake like than chewy cookie but definitely really good.

    1. Take pictures of your pumpkins. That sounds like such fun. I always fail with my pumpkin carving but enjoy the process.
