Get ready for all the flavors of fall in a cookie! I’m sharing my Pumpkin Oatmeal cookie recipe today on Ranch Raised!

Let’s take a deep dive into the real star of the season, the pumpkin spice – spice blend. The pumpkin spice blend is a flavor profile as old as time.

We know as the leaves turn and the landscape burns with hues of golden colors, one of the most polarizing debates will resurface. The stakes are high. Friendships are tested. The line in the sand is drawn, which side are you on?
