What Makes a Good Fall Cookie?

I'm all for making whatever you want, whenever you want. That said, there's a seasonality to food that complements the weather and provides the most flavorful ingredients!

Here are a few things that make a cookie perfect for Fall for me:

• Seasonal Ingredients - Apple, pumpkin, and more! I like to include sweet potatoes and cranberries when we get close to Thanksgiving, too. Keep in mind that the more locally the produce was grown, the more flavorful it will be!
• The Cozy Factor - Warm spices, caramel, and maple are fantastic flavors for cookies that are cozy comfort food!
