Caramel Pumpkin Cookies

Summer was a amazing! We had so much fun… but I am totally ready for fall! Bring on pumpkin flavored anything, cool evenings and family fun! Thankfully my whole family loves pumpkin too so they are just as excited about this season of the year as I am and they encourage me to keep finding new ways to add more pumpkin to our lives. We are also pretty smitten with caramel… especially when it’s sprinkled with salt, so I created a cookie that is full of fall favorites like pumpkin and salted caramel. Yum!

These cookies took me about 5 minutes to prepare and then 10 minutes in the oven. That means you can have cookies ready to eat in 15 minutes… perfect for busy weeknights! They also make your home smell amazing when they are baking!
