Pair up cookies matched closely in size.
Line up the bottoms of the pairs onto the cookie sheet and the tops above.

Ohh nothing like a good cookie and I love the idea of adding in some pumpkin spice – just perfect for this season after all.
These look amazing, I love baking and not had a chance to do anything in a while, will have to try this recipe out and get baking again
They look so yummy! I love everything that has cinnamon in it. I bet these cookies taste and smell incredible.
I am a good cook, but I hardly ever bake, I think my lack of precision (and fear of burning the cakes :D) is what stops me from doing it.
Since the beginning of the lockdown, I have baked three cakes though, so I guess it is not all that scary 🙂
It was my first time visiting your blog, but after checking out some of your amazing recipes, I have bookmarked it and will be back soon x
