Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies
Pumpkin Spice Latte cookies are here! For all the Starbucks fans out there, it’s time for fall!
You’ve probably heard me say before that living in Florida is great, but we do miss fall. It’s still in the high 80s here, and the only way we knew it was fall is that Starbucks put Pumpkin Spice Latte beverages and treats on the menu again.
Now you can have that flavor in the perfect pumpkin spice latte cookie anytime you want it!
Make an extra batch and stick them in the freezer so you always have a little treat on hand for company or when you need a snack with that afternoon cup of tea.
My youngest daughter had a teacher in elementary school who loved Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and whenever I heard she had experienced a rough day (on occasion it may have had to do with my offspring) I would stop by to pick up her favorite drink.
Personally, I prefer cappuccino, dry with no sweetener, but when it comes to cookies, I’ve never met one I didn’t like, and these cookies are divine!
These Pumpkin Spice Latte Cookies taste like autumn, and are perfect for book club, a school function, or make the perfect little dessert with a cup of tea in the afternoon.
What I love about cookies is that I can stick them in the freezer and have one whenever I want one. Give it 10 minutes to thaw and enjoy.

SO much!! I love cooking with pumpkin all year long, but especially in the fall. The ultimate pumpkin cookies taste like a bite of autumn.
Make a loaf of this Chocolate Chip Bread with pumpkin and banana to take to your next book club or school event.
