Since it is fall and Thanksgiving is around the corner it seemed to me that something pumpkin was needed in the blondie/cookie department. The maple with the pumpkin and spices just says fall! :)

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We could eat these pumpkin blondies all through fall. They'd be a delicious end to Thanksgiving dinner too. They have a buttery flavor to them. We almost taste a hint of butterscotch from the brown sugar and butter. These are light and fluffy but also slightly chewy. A maple-flavored cream cheese frosting is spread on top making these taste like fall.
