How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cookie Bars
Fall Fun on the farm opens this weekend, and I couldn’t be any more excited. But along with being excited, I am overwhelmed, I have a million and one things ( well maybe not that many) that I need to get written and done before I start on this crazy busy season of the year. But even though I have that many things on my list to do, it didn’t stop me from wiping up these yummy pumpkin spice cookie bars. I know I said I wasn’t a fan of pumpkin spice everything especially coffee (Yuck! Sorry those that need their pumpkin spiced lattes). But I do love pumpkin baked goods. And since these were so yummy, I decided to share the recipe with you. Have fun making them for your next fall event.
