I cannot believe it is already November 1st! This year has flown by…before we know it we will be thawing out the turkey and making cranberry sauce. As fun as that will be I am still all about everything pumpkin spice and these cookies are all I can think about right now.

A simple but perfect cookie

These simple butter cookies are a favorite of my family. This is the only cookie he ever asks me for. You can check out the original recipe here. As much as I love the original version I wanted to update it a little for fall, and pumpkin spice was the only option I could think of.

I mean is there anything more fall than pumpkin spice?

Options are good…

The beauty of these cookies that you can roll them in any sprinkles you want or leave them bare (as my mom likes them) making them a perfect holiday cookie. For Fall I went with my favorite leaf sprinkles and then some orange and purple sprinkles. Both were so fun and perfect for Fall.

You could also use chocolate sprinkles, mini m&m’s or your favorite fall inspired sprinkle combo.

Just wait until you see what I have planned for Christmas…

Get to rolling…

The Go To

Not only are these cookies delicious but they are also so easy to make. There is no chilling needed (which I love) and make 4 dozen making them perfect for sharing. I normally make 1 dozen for my nephew, 1 dozen for my niece, 1 dozen for my mom and then 1 dozen for all the rest.

Break out the sprinkles and let your creativity go with these delicious fall inspired butter cookies.
