summer may be reserved for lounging on a beach {ideally somewhere tropical…} but fall is most definitely the season to curl up with a blanket & a cup of tea, bake up something cozy, & binge watch gilmore girls {if you know, you know}. we love summer just as much as the next gal, but fall is where we shine. cozy sweaters? check! pumpkins? double check! meg ryan & her rom-com exploits? you know it. chai lattes on repeat? we’re one step ahead of you.

taylor swift’s chai cookies may have taken the internet by storm {as they do every fall—what can’t she do??} but if you’re looking for an easy fall baking recipe that ups the autumnal ante, we’ve got you covered.

we are so thrilled to partner with DAVIDsTEA, one of our favorite canadian-owned & operated tea companies, on a brand partnership that will have you reaching for your coziest scarf & decking out your home in fall-themed décor {don’t say we didn’t warn you…}

with the help of our head pastry chef, Jean-Louis Berthet, we crafted the perfect cookie in honor of DAVIDsTEA’s pumpkin chai blend: enter the oatmeal pumpkin chai cookie. featuring warming spices, chewy oats and golden raisins, it’s safe to say that this cookie is quickly becoming one of our favorite menu items.

can’t make it to a maman but got a craving for cookies? don’t worry, we’ve got you covered— our at-home recipe is just as delicious as it is easy {which is to say, very} and requires minimal equipment/cleanup. now that’s a win-win!
