Geez, what a week! Busy busy here with lots of running around and hours @ the gym with the kiddos, and lots of fun fall stuff, too. But now it’s over already! Yikes. I think we all need to just slow down and have a cookie.

I even had time to dig out some of the fall/Halloween decorations and start putting them up. That’s always fun. We just love any kind of holiday decorating.

I especially love seasonal baking. I warned you…I have a few more pumpkin-y recipes up my sleeve this fall!

These cookies are some of my favorites. They are soft, chewy, and so perfect with tea or hot cider. The secret ingredient here is the instant coffee – it keeps them soft and gives them that rich, spicy flavor that everyone loves.
