Apple Pie Cookies
You can either make this recipe fully homemade, or with store bought ingredients (if you don’t have that much free time). Generally speaking, they’ll probably taste the same. But if you do choose to make it all at home, you’ll have to divide your baking into three parts:
- Pie filling
- Pie crust
- Topping
It’s a delicious dessert recipe and you know what they say..“the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” - I guess that goes for men, women, children, and even pets!
Pumpkin Spiced Shortbread
This pumpkin spice shortbread with apple cider buttercream is just amazing! When fall comes, we all crave for pumpkins and apples, so the combination of these two in just one recipe always brings up a smile! It’s fairly easy to prepare and I’m sure it’ll be a hit with the whole family!
Tip: Make your fall-themed cookies look even more like fall with these themed cookie cutters.
Butter Pecan Cookies
These soft and chewy cookies will be perfect for a Sunday afternoon snack during the season! And the toasted pecans are essential to give this recipe the flavor that makes it so special.
The ingredients you need are:
- 1 ½ cups pecans
- 1 cup butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

Pumpkin Cookies with Cinnamon Frosting
What about these fall sugar cookies? If you’ve never tried a recipe like this before, be prepared to make it a year-round tradition! The mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and pumpkin spice makes it such a perfect fall inspired cookie recipe that you won’t even want to taste any other cookies (but save some room because there’s still lots of delicious options for you!).
White Chocolate Pumpkin Pudding Cookies
Even though people keep telling me white chocolate isn’t really chocolate, I can’t help but love it! It has a unique flavor that no other sweet treat brings.
That being said, you’ll see that this recipe is a crazy mix of sweets:
- White chocolate
- Pudding
- Cookies
“How does that work?” you ask me, and I have to say: it just does! The recipe is so good, it’s like autumn nostalgia in your mouth!
Oatmeal Cookies
Of course, an oatmeal option had to be here! Oatmeal became very popular the last couple of years (with reason), they’re very unique and yummy.
You’ll need for these cookies:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
You’ll basically combine butter and sugar (both types), then adding the eggs and vanilla. After that, add the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt stirring until combined. Then bake for 10 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven set to 350ºF, and you’re done!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Snickerdoodles
These puffy snickerdoodles comes with a special surprise inside: cream cheese filling! They’re a perfect balance between gooey and crunchy, it’s just what you needed to go through the season with a happy tummy!
Cinnamon Bun Cookies
If you’re anything like me (and that is: crazy about cinnamon rolls), this is definitely your go-to autumn dessert!
You’ll get the ingredients for three parts:
- Cookie dough
- Middle
- Icing
And the directions in four steps:
- Prepare the dough.
- Roll the dough.
- Bake the cookies.
- Ice the cookies.
Pumpkin Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Cookies
This recipe from Delish is so awesome! I ate some of these couple of days ago and I’m already craving more just by writing about them. This is a regular recipe, but I also tried a gluten-free option at home by replacing the 2 cups flour with 1 cup rice flour and 1 cup cornstarch.
And check this out:
I found these chocolate butterscotch energy bars that you can break into pieces and use as chips in the cookies! It turned out delicious!
Apple Cider Cookies
When you put together the flavors of apple cider, cinnamon, vanilla, and caramel it’s a match made in heaven! These cookies are simple to make and they turn out perfect (I even made a batch that overbaked a bit, but they still tasted delicious, just a bit crunchier). So, get your apron on and get cooking!
Bonus: Patterned Cookies
You can make your cookies even more special with a patterned rolling pin! Maybe with the oatmeal recipe we’ve shown before, or these maple brown butter sugar cookies - the roller pin will make it super kid-friendly!
