Fall
Fall brings a chill in the air, and has everyone reaching for warm drinks. What these recipes have in common is bringing in the warm spices that make us think of autumn, such as cardamom, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg - and of course, cinnamon!
Pumpkin, apples - yup, those make an appearance as well, and also cranberry. If it's in season it's fair game for these recipes. Dates, nuts, and honey also show up and these cookies will nicely transition from summer to winter.
