Book club treats

With my recent transfer to Temple and in hopes to save money, I am living at home with my parents. Every few weeks they get together with some friends for a book club. This week they have volunteered to hold the meeting at our house.

Sooooo my mother being the great hostess she is feels the need to have plenty of wine, beer, snacks and baked goods for everyone to enjoy. She is fine with getting the wine, beer and snacks, it is the baked goods that give her trouble. Remember from the last blog when I mentioned how she got skipped in the baking gene pool. Well this is when she comes to me because no one wants that store bought, boxed up faked goods. Also, I refuse to let her serve that garbage.

I wanted to do something different than your typical brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE chocolate chip cookie (which I also made for them) and brownies but I wanted to make something different.

So I started to think about the start of a new school year, the first day of autumn coming on Thursday and the holiday season quickly approaching, I thought about fall flavors.

I decided to take the basic sugar cookie mix but jazz it up a little. I added a pumpkin spice mixture which contained cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, anise and all spice to give it that perfect fall feel. They turned out FANTASTIC!

If you are looking to bake something for friends or family and want to give them that fall warmth...bake up a batch of these and you'll be sure to be a everyones favorite.
