There's nothing like a rainy day in the fall. It makes me want to stay in and throw on comfy sweats, sip on a delicious spiced latte, and read a good book. And bake. Fall brings out the baker in me. Last year my husband (then fiance) was serving in Afghanistan at this time and I was constantly cranking out the pumpkin cookies, muffins, and ginger snaps to send in his care packages. I of course was supplying his unit more than him because he was too generous to keep them for himself! But that's beside the point.
Well, today is a rainy day in October. And what did I just stumble across on one of my favorite blogs but thee most appealing cookie recipe I've seen yet this autumn. I must must make these cookies! And I don't even eat cookies. That's how tempted I am!
Apparently they are soft, cakey, and have the warmth of pumpkin pie spice and the creaminess of pumpkin puree. It sounds like a perfect fall cookie, right? If I wasn't jetting off to Texas for the weekend in the morning, I'd be baking these tonight!

Regan! I absolutely love your blog. We had a chili cook-off at the office a couple weeks ago and your mom made some delicious cookies! The recipe leaked and the secret was out- it was YOUR pumpkin white chocolate cookie recipe! Your mom gave your blog page out (mainly, for us cookie-lovers to find the recipe), and I couldn't help but read all your posts (is that what they're called, posts?). Your life seems absolutely amazing. Congratulations to both you and Strom. I hope you don't mind if I continue to follow you and read your blog every now and then. Maybe I'll create one too, who knows! Hope you're doing well! -Cassie
