Autumn Spice Cookies #SundaySupper
This week my Sunday Supper family is all about celebrating fall flavors. Perfect timing, don’t you agree? When I think of Fall, I think of leaves changing, temperatures dropping and warm spices accenting foods.
Here in South Florida we will not see cooler temperatures for quite some time and our leaves will stay vibrant and green. All that I really need to do to remind myself that the season has changed is open up my spice cabinet and take a whiff of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. I get transported in time to childhood memories of crisp Cleveland fall weather.
Need a fabulous baking sheet? Click on the pan below:
I love butter cookies and decided to make a batch of Autumn Spice Cookies. I added my three favorite fall spices to both the dough and the glaze.
Truth be told, I was very tempted to skip the glaze after tasting the baked cookies. I posted a picture of the plain cookies on Facebook and asked for feedback. My friend Reneé from Kudos Kitchen with Reneé suggested drizzling the glaze rather than painting the tops. I loved this idea because I prefer to keep things simple.
As wonderful as the Autumn Spice Cookies are just plain, they are even better with the glaze. It gives another pop of fall to the cookies.
Whichever way you go in terms of glazing, you have to make this recipe. It may very well end up being on your fall favorites list!
