Pumpkin Spice Biscuits

Who has a good old faithful recipe – that they know by heart – and can easily whip up to please their friends and family? I do! This is such a simple, go-to recipe for me! These biscuits are famous in New Zealand and have coined the title, “Hokey Pokey Biscuits.” The original recipe results in a simple buttery cookie, however, being that it is October, I decided to add brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. These “biscuits” are light,  buttery, and absolutely delicious with their perfect spiced flavor. This recipe is quite easy, so I would recommend getting your kids involved! It is that simple! Enjoy friends!
