After digging out my maple extract for these granola bites, I couldn’t put it back before using it in another recipe. It’s been such a long time since I’ve made cookies, that I found myself wanting a soft maple cookie while I was making healthy granola bites.

That ever happen to you?! It’s kind of strange for me, because I’m not really a cookie person. That’s reflected here where I have way more recipes for bars than I do for cookies.

I guess I just don’t like the whole scoop each cookie out individually, bake multiple batches process. But that process is worth it for these brown sugar maple nutmeg cookies!

Perfectly soft brown sugar cookies are filled with maple and nutmeg. I used freshly grated nutmeg for lots of flavor, but regular ground nutmeg works as well.

When the house started smelling amazing before the cookies even made it in the oven, I knew they would be good!

Since yesterday was the first day of fall, it’s time to bring out all the fall things in our houses. So why not skip the expensive fall scented candles and make a few batches of these cookies!

Okay, maybe light a fall scented candle and burn it while you enjoy a few of these cookies to get in the spirit of fall!
