Apple Cider Shortbread Cookies

Fall is the perfect time of year for cooking, watching the leaves turn and sitting on your porch with a mug of warm, spiced apple cider. If you want to capture that same experience in a cookie, these Apple Cider Shortbread Cookies are sure to hit the spot.

Apple Cider Shortbread Cookies

Capture the Flavors of Fall

Is there anything better than a buttery, tender bite of shortbread? While I find plain shortbread irresistible, there’s no question that adding apple cider and spices takes shortbread to new heights of flavor.

Like any good shortbread, these cookies melt in your mouth and are not overly sweet. The cider glaze adds a touch of creamy texture and a dash of extra sweetness.

Tips for Making Apple Cider Shortbread Cookies

  • If you’re unsure about the difference between apple cider and apple juice, you’re not alone. It’s actually difficult to tell them apart. For the best results, select plain cider with no spices or flavors added to it.
  • You’ll need a rolling pin and a cookie cutter to make these. If you don’t have these items on hand, try these emergency substitutes. A wine bottle or drinking glass can sit in for the rolling pin, and a drinking glass can step in for a cookie cutter.
  • Pecan shortbreads are a classic cookie. If you want, you can add ground pecans to these cookies to add crunch and smooth, nutty flavor.

What to Serve With Apple Cider Shortbread Cookies

Fall entertaining centers around comforting, warmly spiced food and drinks. That’s why this Spiced Vodka Cranberry Fall Cocktail is a great match for these cookies.

Get Ready for Fall with Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate and Pumpkin Lead to Cookie Bliss

Have you been looking for a way to shake up your oatmeal cookies? If you’re like me, you know there’s no such thing as a bad cookie, but sometimes you want to give a traditional recipe a twist.

These pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies answer the call.

Adding chocolate chips to anything is an instant improvement, but adding the pumpkin takes these to pure cookie bliss. The creamy warmth of pumpkin sparked with traditional spices is the perfect counterpoint to the rich indulgence of chocolate.

Tips for Making Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe calls for parchment paper. You can find this handy, versatile baking buddy in most grocery sores or cooking supply stores. Once you try parchment paper, you’ll be hooked.

  • You don’t have to grease your pans.
  • Cookies slide off easily without breaking.
  • You won’t have a dirty pan with burnt-on grease to clean.

How to Serve Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies taste best warm from the oven. I like pairing them with a warm or cold spiced cider. The combination brings together everything that’s wonderful about this time of year.

Storing Your Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

You probably won’t have any leftovers, but if you do, store them in an airtight container or a plastic storage bag.
