Salted Caramel Pumpkin Cookies
I don't get tired of pumpkin. I could truly eat pumpkin desserts & savory dishes year round. I try to refrain from doing so only so that I can get my fill in the fall & it will feel like a special treat but my willpower doesn't always work. These Salted Caramel Pumpkin Cookies are no exception to that craving. I love that these have just the right amount of spice, gooey & crunch mixed together to make the perfect cookie.
