Pumpkin Spice Cookies (Super Easy!)

I’m so in love with these super easy pumpkin spice cookies… I waited all year to make them so patiently.

There’s just something about Autumn that makes me fall in love with it every year. Crisp air, freshly picked apples, cozy sweaters, soft scarfs, and my favorite pair of boots all come out to play. We don’t have the hustle of the Christmas season, and we get to enjoy lazy weekends of apple picking, hay rides and the pumpkin patch.

These super easy pumpkin spice cookies embody everything that fall is to me. They’re the perfect thing to whip up for a weekend outing.

Hint: Packing your lunch instead of eating out is a great way to save a ton of money on your fall activities and events. These cookies will make the perfect addition your packed lunch. I’m pairing ours with turkey clubs with cranberry mayo and apple slices with peanut butter dip.

These cookies are also super frugal and pretty easy to whip up quickly.

Growing up, homemade cookies and fall outings were some of my favorite memories. These ideas are so important to me to carry on because I want my little ones to have the same experiences that I was lucky enough to have.

As a family, we really focus on reducing our spending, and I like to think that homemade pumpkin spice cookies and trips to the pumpkin patch make up for the expensive birthday parties and over the top Christmas’s that we don’t have.

What do you think? Am I crazy? What are your favorite childhood memories? Homemade cookies or fancy toys?
