One of my most favorite fall time things to eat is cookies. Particularly pumpkin or cinnamon flavored cookies! These lower carb option for cookies are amazing! Fall is such a good time for anything pumpkin flavored and this recipe just fits the mold so well! Pumpkin and cinnamon go so well together too. They compliment and bring out the flavors of one another. Something about the smell of both in my kitchen just takes me to Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, childhood and my grandmother’s house. Another great thing about these is that they store well too!
