Mariclare Bakes: Fall Edition

In my opinion, the best part of fall is the leaves. I love seeing them change colors and all the trees being different colors. I just think it is so beautiful. So I decided to turn those beautiful leaves into a dessert! These fall leaves sugar cookies don’t only look great, they also taste great, and they are super easy to make. These cookies are perfect to bring to your thanksgiving or any other fall gatherings!
