It's is finally feeling like fall around here. As I type, it is 48 degrees outside and the high is expected to only reach 55!!! This is what I love....bring on the sweaters, jackets and boots! To go with our fall-like weather, we have some fall cookies!

I made two versions of acorns and leaves...dotty and with GOLD sparkling sugar.

I was in desperate need to update my acorns. You can see here...years ago, the first and only time I made them (with apples)...blah.

I think my cookies turn out better if I try not to be so
literal with them. Know what I mean? The dots make them fun...to me at least. Here's more info on
applying dots.

This gold sparkling sugar is so pretty. I found it online at
sugarcraft.com. It comes in silver, too. I bought it for Christmas cookies, but couldn't wait to dig into it. I think these would be pretty with a monogram on the leaves for a fall wedding.

Our dining room table was half covered in cookies (I have a hard time making one batch of cookies). A box went to our
contest winner, a box to my nephew, 4 boxes with my husband for customers and one to the volunteers at the food pantry where my son & I work every Thursday. Someday, I'd like to do
this. Lydia at
The Perfect Pantry is the woman behind this wonderful idea!
Happy fall, everyone! I'm off to enjoy this weather while it lasts!
So beautiful! I love the acorns :)
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your support of our cookies-for-donation program! Some day I hope we'll decorate cookies together.
ReplyDeleteI love these! They are perfect@
ReplyDeleteLove the dot addition and the sugars!
ReplyDeleteMac is looking forward to them!:)
I love the dotty ones! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the cookies as usual. I did some along those lines last Thanksgiving -- orange and yellow. My sister and I couldn't stop laughing because they reminded us of her psychedelic bedroom back in the 70s. Your's are much more grounded!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall, Bridget! Yes, I am loving this weather.
ReplyDeleteYour cookies are so beautiful. I really like your leaves and the dots are such a great idea. It does make the cookie look fun. Nice. Yeah, I like this kind of weather to. Happy Fall to you.
ReplyDeleteI love the dotty acorns and leaves. Wish I had thought of that. They're so happy and whimsical!!

ReplyDeleteYour cookies are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really are very neat with your cookie cutters! They look impeccable,, and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have an award at my blog for you whenever you can stop by. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute,B. How thick do you roll your cookies out? I was doing mine at 1/4inch but that is way too thin for me, I'm thinking.
ReplyDeleteI was just admiring your cookies again -- I am think about trying chopped nuts for the top of the acorn. Have you ever tried something like that? I usually make my brown icing chocolate so taste-wise it might work.
ReplyDeleteCristine....thank you, thank you! I'm going to stop by and check it out! (I must warn you that I'm really terrible about getting those posted...please forgive me!)
ReplyDeleteLanda...I don't measure mine; I just eyball them. I like a thicker/softer cookie, too.
flourgirl...I think that sounds perfect, especially cute for the acorns! I bet they will be delicious!
Love them!! You certaintly have a gift- if you saw how my cookies turn out, you would cry!!

ReplyDeleteHey Stacy...you know, that was one of my first ever cookie cutters and I don't remember where I got it. Sorry! :) Seems like I see similar ones in craft stores this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous, but the polka dots are by far my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThey all look delicious too!
These are so cute! I love the dots on the acorns :) I was just thinking of decorating some cookies today, and now I might have to try my version of these. Love it!
