I don't know what it is about this time of the year but I LOVE baking! Something about the coziness of fresh baked goods when the cold is starting to set in. I love that something as simple as cookies can bring people together and these did just that. With that said, I think nothing beats a classic chocolate chip cookie but these are definitely a nice change for the fall time.

There are so many recipes out there so honestly I didn't bother coming up with my own lol. I got the recipe from Chelsea's Messy Apron and I followed it exactly. I really hate when I try a new recipe and either it's too complicated, it doesn't turn out anything like the picture, or it just asks for ingredients I don't like to use. But these, my friend, look great, taste great and were very simple to make . The only thing I did different was use olive oil instead of vegetable oil and that was only because that was all I had at home. I used the amount of pumpkin spice that the recipe called for and it wasn't a strong flavor at all so if you like more of kick then feel free to add more spice! The recipe says to refrigerate for 1-10 hours for a more bakery style cookie, I refrigerated these for only like 45 minutes and they still came out very large and puffy. I used a heaping tablespoon of batter for one cookie and I only put up to six on one tray. I got 16 cookies from this recipe but a few were a little too big so you should get 18 good sized cookies! I only had two left at the end of the night and I just covered them with plastic so I don't know how they are refrigerated but mine were just as good, if not better, the next morning.

P.s. this cute pink bowl was $10 at homegoods.

I've also been practicing my photography skills. I bought a camera in March and honestly I still don't really know how to use it properly. I don't know if you can tell but the pictures from before I baked the cookies are a little different than the pictures after I baked the cookies. I keep researching how to use the settings and using different lighting for different purposes and I feel like I may be getting somewhere with this camera now lol. If you have any advice, I own a Canon Rebel T6 and I would really appreciate all the help I can get! Anyway, I hope you enjoy these as much as I did, it's not my recipe but I'm glad to give you a great review on them! As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, comment down below! Let me know what you thought of these and if you have other recipe recommendations, I would love to try them!
