Notes

🎃 Substitutions For Pumpkin Spiced Cookies
    • Instead of flour you can use rolled oats and turn these into delicious chewy pumpkin oatmeal cookies I've made both versions and they are both delightful!
    • If you don't have baking powder, don't worry! A teaspoon baking soda will do in a pinch.
    • Want to turn these into a pumpkin snickerdoodle cookie? Add cinnamon sugar mixture to the cookie batter. Yum!
