Fall Sunflower Cookies

Flower-1Happy Monday and more importantly, HAPPY FALL, Y’ALL!

I hope you’re all enjoying the start to this new, wonderful season. This past weekend was incredibly busy, full of lots of great food at Music City Eats, time spent with family, and of course, a little {okay, maybe a lot} of football watching! Of course, I also made time to bake, whipping up these Fall Sunflower Cookies.

Today, I am bringing you an adorable AND easy recipe for Fall Sunflower Cookies. I hope you love these as much as I do… I can’t seem to get enough of these sugary treats, and know my friends will love the little burst of fall when I deliver them later today.

Fall Sunflower Cookies
Recipe Type: Dessert
Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • 1 package Pillsbury “break-n-bake” Sugar Cookies {refrigerated}
  • 1 tub of Vanilla Frosting
  • 1 bag of Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 1 bag of Candy Corn
Instructions
  1. Bake sugar cookies according to package directions.
  2. Let cool until room temperature.
  3. Frost each cookie with a layer of vanilla frosting {you could also make your own frosting, but I like to keep it easy}.
  4. Place individual candy corn pieces in a circle around the outside of the cookie, with the pointy end toward the center. Repeat this until you have an entire ring around the cookie. These make up the flower petals.
  5. Place mini chocolate chips in the center of the candy corn circle, to serve as the center of the flower. Really press them into the icing to ensure they don’t fall out- you might even need a few layers.
  6. Let the frosting set for about 1-2 hours.
  7. Package in individual cello bags and tie with ribbon, or keep in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.

  2. Well if these aren’t just the cutest cookies!! This gives me a smile Hilari!! Thanks for sharing with us today ;)
    On another note…do you have any gluten free recipes for baking? I host Thanksgiving dinner every year and have a gluten free guest. Would love some dessert options for her.

    1. Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for your kind words :) I love making readers smile, so thank you!

      I’m so glad you ask- I’m actually trying out eating gluten free myself, and have found I feel so much better. That being said, I’ll definitely be creating some kind of gluten free dessert for Thanksgiving- I’ll share that recipe as the holiday nears! In the meantime, my recipe for Monster Cookies are gluten free {if you feel like trying them out ahead of time!} http://besweetblog.com/moms-famous-monster-cookies/

      Happy Wednesday!
