'Tis the season for everything pumpkin! I have been making pumpkin treats galore this season, and I got this idea for a Pumpkin Pie Milkshake as a way to use up my leftover pumpkin puree.

My family loves Pumpkin Pie and they love milkshakes, so why don't I put those together? I wanted it to have the taste of the crust as well, so what better cookie to top it with than crumbly, delicate, buttery Scottish Shortbread? If you like Pumpkin Pie, I guarantee you'll fall for this shake!

This takes less than 5 minutes to whip up, so you can enjoy the taste of Pumpkin Pie without all the baking!
