Sugar Cookies just got better with a little pumpkin! This recipe creates soft, chewy, lightly spicy glazed pumpkin sugar cookies that are perfect for Fall!
Original recipe posted September 2013; updated October 2017. Enjoy! xoxo
Soooo, I made cookies the other day. I think it's safe to say that you, my readers, love your cookies....or is it my cookies?

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Just cookies in general.

I posted a picture of these cookies on my Instagram feed and my facebook page and you all went a little nuts. BTW- if you don't follow me on instagram you're missing out on a WORLD of boring FUN!! I post lots of random stupid pictures that is in no way a waste of time and/or does not clog up your feed. Like I said, a world of fun. Also included are photos of my children, the occasional sunset and food.

Follow me @laurens_latest. You're welcome in advance.

Soooo, back to these cookies. SOFT. GLAZED. PUMPKIN. SUGAR. COOKIES.

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

They are easy to make, stay soft for days and are just the right amount of spicy and sweet. Alone they are kind of boring, but with the glaze, they are addicting. Most food is addicting to me though. These are carbs after all. Haaaaaaalo. {Watch this if you don't know what I just tried to type...skip to 2:20.}

I don't know about you, but I LOVE a good sugar cookie. Especially if pumpkin is involved in some way. My only caution: don't over bake them! You want these to stay tender and moist! I used pumpkin pie spice to give these cookies some jazz, not only in the cookie itself, but in the glaze too. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can check out this recipe to make some yourself.

And if you're looking for more pumpkin recipes, check out my list here.

Enjoy! Have a great weekend 😉

Comforting Amish Oatmeal Pie that tastes remarkably like pecan pie. Brown sugar gives a deep, rich flavor to this sweet, simple pie that is a favorite Amish country recipe. If you like pies, also try our sour cherry pie and buttermilk pie!
Oatmeal Pie Recipe

Have you ever heard of Amish Oatmeal Pie? Evidently during the Civil War, pecans were in short supply in the South, making them very expensive. People would substitute oatmeal for the pecans, resulting in this delicious oatmeal pie that tastes similar to a pecan pie. I've only had pecan pie a handful of times in my life and I actually prefer this oatmeal pie over pecan pie. This recipe, however, doesn't come from a Southern cookbook, but from my Amish cookbook. I'm sure both know how to make a good pie!

This sweet pie bakes up soft and gooey. Every bite brought a different food to mind. A bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar. A cinnamon roll. Oatmeal Cookies. Pecan pie. Oatmeal is one of those versatile ingredients that is in so many comfort foods of ours. And this pie is one of my new favorites.

How to Make Oatmeal Pie

You'll start with an unbaked pie shell. You'll find our favorite recipe here, but if you'd like a shortcut, use store-bought pie dough. If you make our recipe, only make half of it since you'll just be needing a single crust.

Next comes the filling. This is one of the easiest pie fillings you'll come across: 3 beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons softened butter, 2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 2/3 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2/3 cup white sugar, and 1 cup of Domino® Pourable Light Brown Sugar. The brown sugar is what gives this pie an unbelievable taste.

Mix all of the ingredients and pour them into the unbaked pie shell. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45-50 minutes. The center of the pie should look fully cooked and not seem "jiggly".The pie will come out soft, but not so soft that it can't be cut into slices. As you can see from the picture, there will be just a little bit of syrup that oozes out...perfect for spooning over a scoop of ice cream. And the ice cream is a must!

These Biscuit Donuts are my boys favorite and they are SO easy to make! We even think they are better than Dunkin Donuts. Krispy Kreme...not quite, but they are close!

These take just minutes to make and easy enough for the kids to help make.
(affiliate links included)
Easy Biscuit Donuts

1 ten count can Grands biscuits (or your preference)

1 Cup Sugar

1½ Tablespoon cinnamon

Peanut (or Vegetable) Oil For Frying

Directions
Mix your cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Use a small round cookie cutter to cut holes in the center of your biscuit dough. You can also use a lid...whatever works...

Pour your oil in a skillet. You need a little less than a half inch. Heat your oil on medium to medium high for several minutes. We want it to be hot so that our doughnuts are instantly seared when they enter it. This prevents them from absorbing too much of the oil and being soggy.

Fry the donuts in batches. It should only take about 1 minute on each side before you turn them over. Place them on paper towels. Dip both sides in the cinnamon sugar mixture. You can also dip them in melted butter before you add the sugar, but we like them without it.

We like flaky layers, but any kind of canned biscuits will work great...

My 6 year old LOVES making these!

He loves eating them ever better...SO good!!

Don't forget to fry up the donut holes as well. You can also add chocolate or frosting on top...whatever you prefer!

Note: this video is how I make my apple dapple cake, in a bundt pan. The photos show how my mother makes hers, in a tube pan. Either works. 🙂

Don't you just love the taste of brown sugar? I mean, all on its own, I just love brown sugar. Whenever I am baking with it, I can't help but to get a pinch out for myself. Lucky is the day when I find a few precious lumps within the bag!

The wonderful thing about this cake (and I do mean WONDERFUL) is that the resulting flavor is a perfect blend of fresh apples and buttery brown sugar. With the special sauce poured over the cake and allowed to soak in before removing the cake from the pan, it is by far the moistest cake I've ever baked. As if the flavor (and smell!) were not enough, the slices are gorgeous, too. Thick slices showcase bits of apple and the slightly granular texture around the edges of the tender crust brought on by the brown sugar. If you've ever wanted to win someone over through their stomach, THIS cake is a home run.

You'll need: Apples, Flour, Salt, Baking Soda, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Vanilla, Eggs, and Pecans!

(This cake gets me so excited. You are going to DIE of happiness when you taste it, I swear!)

In your mixing bowl, place oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until blended.

Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt (I just stir them together in a seperate bowl).

Add this to your wet ingredients and mix until blended again.

And dice them up into little chunks, like this.

and your apples. Blend.

Until it looks like this!

Prepare your pan either by greasing with shortening and flouring, or by using one of these handy, dandy sprays.

Pour your batter into your pan. My mother uses a tube pan but whenever I bake this I just use a bundt pan. Either one is fine.

Bake this in the oven at 350 for one hour.

Now we are going to make this AMAZING sauce to pour over the cake while it is still hot in the pan.

You will need: Dark brown sugar, milk, and butter (or margarine).

Place milk, butter, and brown sugar in a sauce pot.

Sir this together (on the stove eye of course!) and bring to a gentle boil. Once it starts boiling gently, keep stirring and cook for about three minutes. Remove from heat. Remove hot delicious cake from the oven.

While the cake is still piping hot in the pan, pour the sauce over it and let it all sit until it soaks it up.

Oh dear lord, look at that cake!

I mean, LOOK AT THAT CAKE!!!!

Leave the cake in the pan until it has cooled completely.

WOW. LOOK AT THAT CAKE!!!!

Apples, meet the ultimate recipe for which you were intended!!

The name doesn't lie! Our nod to the famous St. Louis dessert starts with a vanilla butter cake base topped with a gooey cream cheese layer that's too good to resist. Waiting for these to cool completely before cutting them into pieces is one of the hardest things you'll ever do-they smell amazing right out of the oven-but take one bite and you'll know they're worth the wait. (Tip: for just the right amount of "gooey," make sure to use a 9x9-inch pan and not an 8x8.) ...MORE+LESS-

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

In a bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter and 1 egg until a soft dough forms. Press into the bottom of the baking dish.

In a stand mixer, combine together the cream cheese, 2 eggs, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the cake mix layer.

Bake bars for 45 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and the center has set to a soft consistency.

Cool COMPLETELY before slicing into bars and serving.

***Reader Polina wrote that she "used the Stonefield whole milk yogurt for the recipe - turned out perfect soft and very moist."

****On baking in a Tube pan: Reader, Kelly, writes: "I did this a a tube pan and upped all the ingredients by half. I was feeding 2 families :). I used the "Baking Happy" Pam non stick spray with flour and it popped out beautifully. It baked for 55 mins, and was perfect!!! Since the pan is larger, upping the ingredients by half was a perfect fit for the pan- once baked, the cake cake right to the top. I sprinkled with powdered sugar. Delicious recipe...everyone loved it! Thanks so much!!!"

Can I Substitute Frozen Blueberries for Baking?

If using frozen blueberries, thaw in refrigerator and drain any excess juice then in step #4: toss with a full 1 Tbsp of starch and do not add lemon juice to blueberries. Do not add more than 16 oz blueberries or they start to weigh the cake down.

How To Make Blueberry Lemon Cake:

Prep: Lightly butter a 9-inch springform pan**** and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat Oven to 375˚F.

1. Beat 2 eggs and 1 cup sugar with whisk attachment on high speed 5 minutes or until lightened in color and thick.

2. Add 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp salt and whisk on low speed until well combined.

3. Whisk together the 2 cups flour with 2 tsp baking powder then add to batter 1/3 at a time, whisking to incorporate between each addition (DO NOT OVERMIX or the cake will be dense). Finally, add 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1/2 Tbsp lemon zest. (I really like to use this lemon zester).

4. Rinse blueberries and drain well. Transfer to a medium bowl add 1/2 Tbsp corn starch and 1 tsp lemon juice. Stir until well combined and no dry white cornstarch remains. If using frozen blueberries, see note above.

5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared springform pan and even out the top with a spatula. Top with half of the blueberries. Spread with remaining batter then sprinkle the rest of the blueberries evenly over the top, pushing them about halfway into the batter. Bake at 375˚F for 45 to 55 minutes (mine was perfect at 55 min), or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cake rest in the pan for 15-20 minutes then remove ring and cool until room temp or just warm.

Serve dusted with powdered sugar.

The best toffee recipe EVER!

Sweet milk chocolate, crunchy pecans, and rich, buttery toffee - what's not to love? This Better Than Anything Toffee is easy to make and makes the perfect treat OR gift year-round!

Let's be friends! Sign up to get my new recipes in your inbox! Follow me on Facebook and Instagram too!

The holiday season marks my favorite time of year. If you hadn't guessed already, I'm a leeetle obsessed with food. Making good food for my friends and family is my happy place. One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is make candy. I have a on my site. Some are super easy using only the microwave and a handful of ingredients like these M&Ms Marshmallow Dream Bars while others are more challenging but worth every second like these Buttermilk Pecan Pralines.

I have my personal favorites that never fail to make an appearance each holiday season and this Better Than Anything Toffee recipe is one of those.

This recipe reminds me a lot of old school pound cake recipes in that the amounts are simple to remember. One cup of butter, one cup of sugar, one cup of pecans and one cup of milk chocolate chips. A pinch of salt and a little vanilla extract are optional but add a lot of flavor to this easy candy recipe.

Yes! I said easy! I know some of you guys are going to get a little freaked when you see that you need a candy thermometer for this recipe.

Don't.

It makes candy making fun and fool-proof! This entire recipe takes about 20 minutes from chopping the pecans to spreading the chocolate on top. Then you just have to let it chill for awhile while you enjoy a steaming mug of Slow Cooker Peppermint White Hot Chocolate.

I'm gonna put this picture right here just in case you have any doubts that this recipe is absolutely worth your time...

That's what I thought.

So, why do I love toffee so much? Because EVERYONE else does! I have given a lot of food gifts over the years but trust me, I take note of which ones get the biggest reactions. This Better Than Anything Toffee is one such recipe.

Top Tips for the BEST TOFFEE RECIPE:

Use a quality candy thermometer like this one (best for large batches) or this candy thermometer (great for small batches AND large batches and it does a lot more). Digital is my favorite. You literally can't mess it up. I give the range of 290F - 300F for this recipe. I have cooked it from one end of this range to the other and it's all good. 300F is hard crack so the toffee will be more brittle the higher you go.

There is a whopping 4 main ingredients in this recipe, 5 if you count the vanilla extract, 6 if you count the salt. Use the very best quality ingredients for the best quality toffee. I use Challenge butter it's the brand I've used and trusted for years and years. Made with 100% real cream, it's my butter of choice. And, for all you who thought it wasn't in your market, it's now available nationally. Find out where to buy it in your area here.

I used milk chocolate chips for the top layer. You can use three Hershey's bars in place of the chips if you prefer. The chocolate is a little softer and will melt faster as it's being held but it is delicious.

Not a pecan fan? Cool. Use what you want: almonds, walnuts, etc.

Freaking out over the fact that I didn't top the toffee with finely crushed and chopped nuts? This recipe doesn't need it since there are so many nuts IN the toffee. If you still can't handle it, feel free to top your toffee as you wish.

Store toffee in airtight container so they don't get sticky. That's kind of annoying. Cool + dry = happy toffee.

This recipe can be easily doubled. Use a 10 x 15 jelly roll pan instead of the 9-in square pan and you'll be all set.

In the mood for candy making? Try these Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles (easiest candy EVER), these Chocolate Mint Cream Cheese Buttons (always a crowd pleaser) or check out my 30 Last Minute Christmas Treats here. Lots of great recipes!
