An Inn on the Creek afternoon tradition of freshly baked cookies greets our newly arriving guests or welcomes back our in-house guests from their adventures in Jackson. These pumpkin cookies have quickly become a guests sensation. The real pumpkin puree combined with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves make these cookies a heart-warming treat. Our new breakfast chef, Robyn Zimmer, created this delicious recipe. Robyn is a Jackson native and loves to share her knowledge and stories of the area with the guest.
