There are a few things in this world that it seems like everyone goes crazy for and that is anything pumpkin flavored and anything having to do with coffee. I wish I was one of those people. I can’t tell you how many times I see my family go crazy over everything pumpkin spice flavored and I wished I liked it, but I don’t. The same for coffee. I actually cannot stand the smell of coffee. I tolerate it because my husband would walk around with a coffee IV if he could. So for you pumpkin spice, coffee lovers, this recipe for pumpkin coffee cookies with maple icing is all for you!
