Taylor Swift’s Pumpkin Spice Cookies

After the cookies finished baking, I personally tried them and I have to say that they are very fluffy and remind me of a pumpkin pie. They took more than 10 minutes to bake, so I suggest 15. The cookies were moist, fluffy and packed full of flavor! I definitely recommend making these and Taylor Swift gets a definite 10/10 for these cookies.
