The PRETTIEST Fall Sugar Cookies! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿงก


Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ

Ready to make some pumpkin cookies? I thought so. These classic sugar cookies have just the right amount of pumpkin spice and a crunchy sugar topping that makes them equally beloved by kids and adults alike. Send them to the kiddos class party? Definitely, but make enough to bring to work, too!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isnโ€™t that what itโ€™s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

I like to get on the road early with a cup of coffee ~ it seems to make the trip go faster and maybe helps us get out ahead of a few of the truckers. Last week's new pumpkin chocolate chip muffins were awesome ~ I can't believe I haven't posted that recipe before now. But I have to give another special shoutout to this little gem: readers have raved about this...

shortbread cookies on a rack

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ Shortbread is one of my signature recipes, no question. I first got hooked on it in Los Angeles, of all places, after a thick chocolate chip shortbread cookie at a coffee shop. That was enough to send me down the rabbit hole. For cookie season Iโ€™ve gathered 25 of my shortbread recipes in one place. Use them as a starting point for fall baking now, and for holiday cookies later. And to think it all starts with the simplest formula: butter + flour + sugar. One Shortbread Dough -...
