Fall Cookie recipes?

gkelly — Tue, 02 Sep 2014 15:40:36 GMT

Does anyone have any "tried & true" cookies they usually bake for the Fall? I would appreciate any of your recipes & give them a go! I tried several different apple pie recipes last year but nothing "stood out" so this year I am going to try the cookie route! Thanks in Advance!

HARVEST APPLE STREUSEL SQUARES

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

8 ounce package cream cheese, softened (I use 1/3 fat)

14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk) I use Eagle Brand

2 eggs

20 ounce can apple pie filling

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I use almost 3/4 teaspoon)

1/4 cup cold butter or margarine

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine cracker graham cracker crumbs, butter and finely chopped pecans. Press evenly onto parchment paper-lined 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese on low until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk and eggs. Pour over prepared crust. Spoon apple pie filling over cream cheese layer.

In medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cranberries and chopped pecans. Sprinkle over apple layer. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overbake. Makes 12 servings.

NOTE: I used the parchment paper on the bottom of the pan. I did not grease the pan at all. If you don't want to use parchment paper, you'll likely have to grease your pan.

Wow, PamelaSue..those sound yummy! Thanks for posting!

I don't have any 'tried and true' but found 2 new cookie recipes yesterday on lifeloveandsugar.com

One was moist and chewy Banana Oatmeal Cookies and the other was Double Mint Chocolate Cookies. I haven't made either yet, so I can't vouch for them, but they are top of my fall list to try! If they taste anything like the pictures look on her website..oh boy!

Thanks PamelaSue72 for the bar recipe! I like those since most are just add to pan & bake! They sound extremely good!! Love just about anything with cream cheese in it! This one I will be trying soon!

RespectLife..thanks for the website, going to head over there in few & check out those recipes you recommended. I'm always up trying new recipes but thought some of these great cooks might have some T&T ones to try. Thanks again!

beach-mom...i have seen the recipe you posted but never really read the ingredients until now. Didn't know if pumpkin & chocolate would go together but I am going to try these! I love pumpkin, didn't when I was a kid but now, I love it! I have a "folder" with nothing in it except pumpkin recipes in it! I make pumpkin rolls around Thanksgiving & Christmas time. Last year I made about a dozen to give away!

I agree with ConnieinTennessee, I appreciate you sharing these recipes!

Thanks beachmom...I love pumpkin and I LOVE chocolate! Sounds delicious!

gkelly....when you go to that site...be prepared to drool over ALL the recipes! I copied 26 total in just 2 days! I feel the pounds coming on!!

Here is a tried and true recipe. We have made these for years in our family. It is a shortbread cookie bar, easy to make and wonderful with a cup of coffee or tea. Not too sweet. Sometimes, I add additional nutmeg and/or similar spices besides just the cinnamon to punch up the 'fall spice' flavors. At Christmas, I add red/green sprinkles to the top b4 baking to make them festive. The original recipe calls for nuts only though.

Jan Hagels

Preheat oven to 350

Mix with mixer: 1 cup butter (no subs)

1 cup sugar

1 egg yolk (save the egg white)

Add by hand: 2 cups flour

1 t cinnamon (add additional fall spices if you like)

Press into lightly greased 13 x 9 pan. Batter is thick so smooth it out.

Beat egg white w/ 1 T water till frothy. Brush on top and sprinkle with chopped nuts (your choice), PRESS DOWN LIGHTLY.

Bake 20-25 min. till lightly golden. When cooled, cut into bars.

RespectLife (great name by the way!), I subscribed to that site! Pinned about 4 cookies recipes from just 2 pages and found a couple of Christmas cookie recipes to try out! Thanks again and thanks for your recipe! Looks pretty simple and sounds right up my alley...I will probably add more nutmeg and/or spices to it but will make it just like you have it the first time around.

Thanks Sharke...my neighbors & friends are going to like me more & more after making all those CC cookies!! I guess it's true..nothing better than a homemade chocolate chip cookie and a glass of milk!

I love the Monster cookie recipe that Paula Deen had in her book and it also happens to be on line, and it was in my Amish cookbooks too. It's so so good, like it has all but the kitchen sink in it, LOL

Just copied the 2 recipes above. Thanks! Sounds good!

Pumpkin Cookies

Wet Mix:

1 C soft butter

1/2 C brown

1/2 C white sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 C plain pumpkin

Dry Mix:

2 C AP flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp each: nutmeg, ground cloves, ground ginger, salt

1 TBSP cinnamon

Mix EVERYTHING together, drop onto greased pan (12 per pan) 2" apart. 350°F for 10 mins or until done (since all ovens are different).

Frosting:

3 TBSP butter

1/4 C heavy cream

1/2 C brown sugar (packed)

Let this come to a boil in a sauce pan. Once completely cold stir in 1 C powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Make while cookies are baking so it has time to thicken as it sits in a bow.

I first heard of this recipe in 2012 when watching videos on YouTube. Click here to watch it. Pumpkin Cookies

This is a make ahead recipe. The dough needs to rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hrs or up to 5 days. If you bake the dough right after making it, it will flatten out and spread.

Candy Corn & White Chocolate Soft Batch Cookies

(Pre-heat 350°F)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, soften
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Mix all above for about 5 mins or until light and fluffy (with a stand or hand mixer). Scrape sides of bow down.

2 tablespoons cream or half-and-half
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons corn starch
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt, optional and to taste

Add all of above and mix about 1 min, just until mixed.

1 1/2 cups candy corn (1o to 11 ounces)
1 cup white chocolate chips (or salted peanuts)

Hand fold in above. *Note:

Use a 2" cookie or ice cream scoop, flatten on a cookie sheet and let rest in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or use cold dough to start with and slice.

Place on Silpat or greased cookie sheet 2" apart (about 8 per cookie sheet due to spreading). Bake for 9 mins. *Note: cookies should *

Allow to cool on cookie sheet for about 5 mins as they will be soft and the residual heat on the pan will help to finish setting them up.

Cooked cookies will last about 1 week in an airtight container at room temperature or 4 months in the freezer. Raw dough will last about 5 days in the refrigerator or 4 months frozen.

What a great idea for leftover Halloween Candy.

For those of you who are still looking for Fall cookie recipes (well its Thanksgiving which means its still Fall!, here are my absolutely most favorite pumpkin whoopie pie cookies:

INGREDIENTS:

PUMPKIN COOKIE BATTER:
2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup melted raw honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup organic pumpkin puree
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
CREAMY PUMPKIN FILLING:
100 g organic cream cheese
1/4 cup melted raw honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup organic pumpkin puree
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp coconut or arrowroot flour

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Mix all batter ingredients together until well combined.
3. With a help of a cookie cutter, form batter into cookie shapes and place on a large parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Alternatively, scoop about 1/3 of cookie batter and form into a tennis size ball. Roll the cookie dough to form a pizza shaped layer about 1/2" thickness. Repeat to make two more layers.
4. Bake the cakes / cake crust layers for 20 - 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely.
5. While the cookie layers are baking, blend all filling ingredients together.
6. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling on the bottom (flattest) side of one cookie, and sandwich the filling with another cookie on top (again, flattest side touches the filling). To make a cake, layer the filling in between cookie crust layers.
7. Store in an air-tight tupperware in the fridge.
