Fall Maple Leaf Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies are basic, but sugar cookies shapes like maple leaves are fantastic and festive. The recipe below is simple, yet the end result is a beautiful Thanksgiving treat. To make these, you’ll need a sugar cookie recipe, a maple leaf cookie cutter, pastry piping bags, toothpicks, and icing in fall colors (red, orange, and yellow).
Pumpkin Pie Cookies
Pumpkin Pie is an essential Thanksgiving dessert. These cookies won’t replace them but will be a good sidekick. To make these, you’ll need to have some skills when it comes to icing cookies. We think you’ll nail it, though.

Cranberry is great as a side dish, or in a shortbread cookie. This recipe calls for dried cranberries, butter, icing sugar, salt, vanilla extract, flour, cornstarch, and a sweet tooth.
