<p>There’s something about autumn that invites us to slow down. The air turns crisp, the colors grow warmer, and suddenly we start craving comfort — something sweet, soft, and spiced.</p>
<p>That’s where the <em>magic of pumpkin spice</em> begins.</p>
<p>Pumpkin spice isn’t actually about the pumpkin itself — it’s a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. These are the same cozy spices that filled old kitchens with warmth long before they became an autumn trend. The mix became famous in the U.S. around the 1950s, when spice companies began selling it ready-made for pumpkin pies. Later, it took over the world — from lattes to cookies, candles, and even perfumes.</p>
<p>But here at <strong>Melura</strong>, pumpkin spice is more than a seasonal flavor. It’s a feeling.</p>
<p>When I started working on our <strong>Pumpkin Spice Cookie</strong>, I didn’t just pour in a store-bought mix. I measured and blended the spices myself — finding the perfect balance of warmth and sweetness. A little extra cinnamon for comfort, a touch more nutmeg for depth, and that hint of ginger that brings everything to life.</p>
<p>Every batch reminds me why I love seasonal baking: it connects us to time, memory, and small joys. It’s not just about cookies — it’s about the feeling of home, the sound of leaves outside, and the comfort of something baked with care.</p>
