Continuing the theme of the month of Sourdough Wastes, I found a cookie that encompasses sourdough AND fall. Pumpkin is one of my favorite fall flavors.
Not pumpkin spice from the coffee shop. I have never tasted it.
I am talking about simple pumpkin flavor.
It just screams fall to me. Cooler weather, decreased humidity, sleeping with the windows open with extra blankets on the bed. Everything that I love about fall, in a flavor.
When I was in college my mother made this awesome pumpkin cookie with a hard brown sugar glaze. I’ve no time for the glaze but I remember it fondly.
The cookies I will be delivering are simple pumpkin cookies, made soft with sourdough. There may be a tinge of sourdough, if you eat enough of them.
Simple isn’t always wrong, you know.
Especially working as a nurse. Simple can be good.
Simple can be taking off your shoes at the end of the day.
Simple can be getting all the things right on a complex case.
To me, it is the same feeling.
Now, I caution about slapping pumpkin in EVERYTHING! This will be the only pumpkin cookie of the year.
I think it is a good representation of how the simple things can be the best things.
Probably would’ve been better with frosting, but I took the simple way out.
Now will everyone tell the new people there are cookies in the lounge on Thursdays? At about 1400?
