Four Delicious Fall Treats

hey there hi there ho there!

Welcome back to Coffee with Kaydee, and welcome back to another autumn themed blog post! Today I'm sharing my absolute, all time favorite fall desserts. I recently shared in a blog post that one of my goals this Autumn is to bake something every week. Baking makes me so happy and I totally have a sweet tooth. It’s so nice to create something delicious, who can beat the sweet aroma that fills your home when you bake? The coziness that baking adds in the Autumn is unmatched. It truly is such a fun activity! If you are looking for a hobby to get into that makes you feel warm and cozy and let’s your creativity get exercised I 10/10 recommend baking.

While I shared on Instagram the list of things I want to bake, I thought I would share 4 delicious fall treats here. If you’re looking for something delicious, pumpkin flavored, and easy to make, you’ve come to the right place! I shared a similar post years ago, and I went back to make sure I share some different delicious recipes this time. I hope you enjoy! I love baking but I am not yet at the place to come up with my own recipes, and I don't know that I ever will. That makes me extra thankful for all the talented people that can come up with delicious recipes! So as usual I want to give credit where credit is due, and you’ll have to follow the link to the full recipes for all of these treats. (ACCESS THE LINK TO THE RECIPE BY CLICKING THE PHOTO)

1 // Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies

A delicious twist on your classic cinnamon snickerdoodle cookies! This recipe doesn't make a lot of cookies, so you may want to double it if you have a large family. It's super easy to make, but you do have to refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking, so be sure to include that in your allotted baking time! Here are the ingredients so you can add them to your shopping list. Click the image to see the full recipe!

2 // Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread

There is nothing I love more than the combination of pumpkin and cream cheese. This is like the easier, less time consuming version of the pumpkin roll. The pumpkin roll does have more cream cheese, but if you just want something you can easily whip together with the same flavors as the pumpkin roll, here ya go! It's super moist and not overly sweet, it would be great for company or even a quick breakfast snack! I'll definitely be baking this again this fall.
