Autumn Spice Cookies


I am so excited for the yummy, warm, comforting foods of fall.  Since the weather has lately decided to be balmy, muggy, and dreary, I had to quench some of my fall-time cravings by making these cookies.  And they couldn't be simpler!  My friend Liz, of Love, Lizzie, graciously shared this recipe with me last year and it is now one of my new favorites!  And don't they look lovely with my fall decor?!

Autumn Spice Cookies
Liz Brown

1 pkg. sugar cookie mix
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Icing:
~1-1.5 cups powdered sugar
~1 tsp. apple cider

Make sugar cookie dough according to the instructions on package, adding in the pumpkin pie spice.  If making cut-out cookies, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour.  Roll out, cut out, place on baking sheet, and bake according to the instructions.
Mix icing until reaching desired consistency (not too thin, not too thick).  The original recipe called for butter, which I omitted and still love the icing!

Trying something new...

I recently signed up with Pinterest, a great site for "pinning" all of the fun things, ideas, and even recipes you find on the internet.  Definately helps me to keep things I like a bit more organized, instead of sending myself a million e-mails that just end up clogging my inbox.

Here's a little fun idea I picked up and "pinned"!

{that is my actual hair...i did that myself!!}

Lemon Icebox Pie


As the Summer season is wrapping up, I thought I would share one last recipe that is cool and refreshing before turning to those warm, comforting dishes for the Fall!  This recipe is one of my favorites and I absolutely love to whip it up for guests.  They are always surprised by just how simple and delicious it is!  It is one of those pies that makes you want to literally lick the plate clean when you are done.  I actually think my daughter did that the last time I made it....owell for good table manners!


Lemon Icebox Pie

1 graham cracker crust (pre-made or you can make your own)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
few drops yellow food coloring (enough to make it light yellow)
8 oz. tub Cool-whip

Stir together the milk, lemon juice, and yellow food coloring.  Once well combined, fold in 1 cup of the Cool-whip.  Pour into the graham cracker crust, cover, and refrigerate for 3 hours.  Once the pie is set, spread remaining Cool-whip on top and enjoy!
