This months Fill the Cookie Jar theme is Thanksgiving! I thought long and hard about what to make. Turkey shaped sugar cookies? Sweet potato cookies? Cranberry cookies? Ideas were flying through my head.
Until one morning, it just hit me. Why not take one of our favorite Thanksgiving desserts and transform it into a cookie?? Yes, it was a brilliant idea! And my kids agreed.
So I quickly went to work creating a Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Cookie. I wanted it to taste just like that beloved cheesecake, but in tiny cookie form.
I will tell you right now, I think these cookies are amazing and I can't stop eating them. By using cake flour instead of all purpose flour, I created a very soft and cake-like cookie. The flavors of pumpkin pie spice and cream cheese stand out and are amazing.
It's Fall, it's Fall, it's finally here! Well I guess it's not technically here, according to the calendar, but once it hits September I consider that Fall. Which means I can start cooking pumpkin and apple goodies and break out the cinnamon and pumpkin scented candles. Which of course I've already done!
This months Fill the Cookie Jar theme is Fall and you can imagine my excitement when I found that out! I was thrilled to write and test recipes that included some of my favorite ingredients.
