I love baking in the fall. My kitchen is always so cold in the mornings, it’s almost a necessity to turn on the oven and get something baking. The sweet spicy smells of cinnamon, pumpkin, or apples certainly don’t go amiss either.
Every fall I inevitably try a few new recipes. There are so many delicious ideas for fall! I wrote this roundup to include fall cookie ideas that I felt were a bit more unique. Not just a standard chocolate chip cookie or even a snickerdoodle or oatmeal raisin recipe. I chose recipes with a little twist, a little something different.
Maybe you have a big batch of fresh-from-the-orchard apples to use up: scroll down and consider the Chewy Cinnamon Apple Cookies, Apple Crisp Cookies, or Apple Cinnamon Cookies.
Perhaps you are ready to embrace pumpkin (it might be overdone these days, but it’s still delicious). Try Pumpkin Biscotti, Filled Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies, or even Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.
If you are looking for something with just a little cinnamon or spice, try Homemade Speculoos Cookies, French Toast Cookies, or Rolled Cinnamon Cookies. And if you want something that follows the gourmet cookie trends, try my Snickerdoodle Skillet Cookies, a Crumbl Copycat recipe recipe.
With 25 recipes in this list, I know you’ll find more than one that you want to bake asap. So, go enjoy a fall day of cozy baking!
A roundup you can trust: When I write my roundups, I strive to include only recipes from bloggers I trust–people that writing their own recipes and testing them before publishing. I don’t include AI recipes or other computer-generated recipes. If you ever discover I’ve linked to something like that, please do let me know as occasionally websites do change over time. I also secure permission before using a blogger’s photo.
