Instructions
For the London Fog Tea:
Stir all ingredients together. If you have a milk frother, use that to make milk frothy milk and then pour over the top of the brewed tea.
For the Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat or spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, add and stir together dry ingredients and mix together. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. In the well, stir together eggs, pumpkin, applesauce, melted coconut oil and vanilla. Then stir wet ingredients into dry until just about fully combined. Add chocolate chips and stir everything together until fully combined.
Spoon out tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto baking sheet. Bake for about 13-15 minutes and until tops of cookies are golden.
Transfer to cooling rack and let cool. Enjoy with a cup of London Fog Tea!
