Not sure what to bake between Thanksgiving and Christmas? These pumpkin spice cookies are a season-bridging treat that come from TAMO Bistro + Bar’s Assistant Pastry Chef Rhonda Murphy. Nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves combine to create a fragrant spice mixture, which is further enhanced by the cinnamon sugar that the cookies are rolled in before they’re popped into the oven.
