Cookie Directions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.

- Stir in the pumpkin spice extract. Stir well to make sure that all ingredients are well blended.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. Add the pumpkin spice coffee grounds, stirring to mix well.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough until ¼-inch thick. Use a 2-inch circle cookie cutter and place 1-2 inches apart on your lined cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 19-22 minutes, or until center of cookie is firm. Allow to cool slightly while on the cookie sheet, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
