It’s officially fall! Baking is an essential part of the autumn season. Pumpkin, chocolate, and spiced baked goods are one of the many things that make up the vibe and essence of fall. In this article, recipes of spice cake cookies, Dubai chocolate cookies, no bake cookies, apple crisp, and pumpkin bread will be shared along with what makes them so great!
Spice cake pumpkin cookies are everything fall is. The taste is sweet and the texture is perfect. This is a four-ingredient recipe and very simple to make. The only things needed is a box of spice cake mix, a can of pumpkin puree, one egg, and a cup of chocolate chips! These cookies are not only just a few ingredients but also beginner-friendly and have a short preparation time. You can find the full recipe at BlessThisMess.com.
The next recipe is more complicated, but definitely worth the extra time in the kitchen. Dubai chocolate has gone viral all over TikTok, Instagram, and everywhere else on the internet, becoming a very popular trend. These cookies are everything a Dubai chocolate is but made even sweeter in the form of a cookie! Crumbl Cookie recently made their very own Dubai Cookie but it sold out completely due to few supplies, so you can make your own with this recipe! Even with its complex ingredients, all of them can be found at your local store. Ingredients include butter, brown sugar, white sugar, self-raising flour, plain flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips as well as butter, filo pastry sheets, and pistachio cream for the cookie fillings. This recipe is more complex and takes longer to complete, however the result is well worth the hard work! The full recipe is on JessieBakesCakes.com!
Next, we have no-bake cookies. Like their name implies, no use of an oven is necessary! These cookies are chocolatey, crumbly in the best way, and easy to make. You can make these cookies in 20 minutes and you might already have all the ingredients at your house now. You’ll put all of your ingredients into a pot where they are mixed together and made into a solid form. Ingredients include butter, granulated sugar, milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, creamy peanut butter, pure vanilla extract, and quick-cooking oats. These cookies are perfect for a fall evening when you want a sweet but quick dessert that will leave you satisfied. To bake these cookies you can go to LiveWellBakeOften.com!
Apple crisp is all of autumn incorporated together. Apple picking, pie, Thanksgiving, etc. This is also another easy recipe that will leave you feeling like you just ate a bite of fall. Ingredients include apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice for the spiced apples, light brown sugar, oats, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, salt, and unsalted butter for the crisp topping.
