  8. 1 tsp. milk
  9. 1 TBSP vanilla extract
  10. 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Notes
  1. For softer cookies, pull them out of the oven 30-60 seconds before they're done, and let them cool on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes before removing them.
  2. For an orange color, use 3 drops of red food coloring in the wet mixture.
