Pumpkin chai cookies

Fall is only just knocking at the door and I already don’t want it to be over. Probably because my birthday marks the start of the season and also because this country’s natural beauty and the changing of the leaves never fail to amaze me.

Fall brings back great childhood memories: cool evenings cozying up with family, afternoons out shopping with my mom to refresh my wardrobe, and so many other good moments.

This recipe brings all those tender memories rushing back. Each bite is like a taste of happiness and the house fills with lovely, warm scents.

I hope you’ll like it as much as I do. 🙂
