Go-To Fall Cookie Recipes

Cool, gray fall days make for the best cozy baking backdrop. What better way to warm up your kitchen than with a batch of fall cookies?! Here you’ll find fall cookie recipes of all shapes and sizes, ranging from classic oatmeal cookies to decadent cheesecake-stuffed pumpkin cookies. Even if you’re not a fan of pumpkin or spice, there is something here for you (and plenty of pumpkin and spice for those of you who are pumpkin spice fans)!

If I had to pick a current favorite from this list, it would be my pumpkin coffee cake cookies (#1 on my list below!). Not only is this one of my newest fall cookie recipes, it’s also tasty enough to convert a non-pumpkin lover (me!) into a huge fan! The cookies are super soft (thanks to the pumpkin) and have enough streusel to satisfy the most streusel-obsessed eaters (also me!). They fully live up to their name, with all the charm of pumpkin coffee cake, but in the cutest cookie form. I highly recommend them!

Let’s get into the rest of the list! 🍂
