Fall is acting strange... Let's bake some cookies!

Fall is my favorite season. Although this fall has been super strange with the thunder, snow, and rain all in the same day... I still love it. I enjoy  watching  as the leaves transform, baking goodies that involve apples and pumpkin, and generally just getting back to cooking all the things my apartment is too toasty to make during the warm summer months.

Linking my leaf with Flowers on Saturday!

This week, I baked some delicious white chocolate, cranberry, oatmeal cookies. I was super excited to bake them as I was able to try out my new vanilla beans! One word, YUM!  If you'd like a new recipe to add to your baking repertoire, read on!
