Tea and Cookies for Fall
When the weather turns cool and crisp, nothing says “cozy” to me like a hot beverage! I have decided that hot beverages are my “comfort food.” I like coffee, tea, cocoa, apple cider… and I like cute mugs! I splurged the other day and got a set of 4 pumpkin mugs just to celebrate the season.
Later, I found Pumpkin Spice tea in 2 different brands (at 2 different stores). Of course I had to try them both! Spice teas are my favorite… and since they “go” with my new mugs… well, what else could I do?
Another “fall tradition” that has evolved at our house is the Apple Glazed Cookies that my daughter makes each year, when apple season comes around.
She discovered the recipe in an Amish cookbook several years ago. This year she added “fall” sprinkles. I thought that was a fun touch!
I posted her recipe on The Persnickety Pantry, if you’d like to try it. Visit Looking Towards Heaven for more seasonal tricks and treats.

That looks perfect! I keep hearing about the pumpkin coffee at Starbucks…but although I enjoy my morning coffee, I am more of a tea gal in the afternoons…so I always get chai tea lattes at Starbucks…but they dont have pumpkin flavor…I would love to try this new Tazo tea…will have to keep an eye out for it and now I want some cookies, too, lol.

The Mister was out running errands and brought back 2 of those little apple pie things from Checkers – they tasted just like autumn! Reminded me of the fresh hot donuts I used to get from the cider mill to go with the apple cider. Those cookies look wonderful, thank you. I’ll just take that one, I mean two, er three out of the middle of the plate.
