As the weather cools down, our ovens warm up! Read on for recipes, tips, and info on our new fall flavors.

There are certain flavors that just scream “fall,” and they’re not ALL pumpkin spice. Our bakery chef and her team have whipped up five scrumptious autumnal cookies that you’ll want to keep in your cookie jar for parties, after-school snacks, quick-and-easy desserts, tailgating, and more.

Loaded with chocolate chips and mini peanut butter cups, these rich chocolate and peanut butter cookies are topped with peanut butter buttercream frosting and even more peanut butter cups.

Peanut butter-frosted Buckeye brownie

Want something a little denser and ooey-gooey-er, with the same great flavor as our peanut butter-frosted Buckeye cookie? Our brownie of the same name is also topped with creamy peanut butter buttercream and mini peanut butter cups but has that fudgy, luscious texture only a brownie can provide.

Our autumn-inspired cookie batter is made with real maple syrup and baked with premium maple-flavored white chocolate chips inside. We frost the finished cookies with creamy maple buttercream and sprinkle them with more maple chips. The result is a soft and tender cookie with just a tiny bit of toothiness.

Chocolate chip ‘brookie’

We say, when you can’t decide, have both. Our “brookie” features a rich, chocolate chip-laden fudge brownie topped with a chewy chocolate chip cookie. It’s two desserts in one!

Pumpkin fudge bar

The base of this indulgent treat is a fudgy chocolate chip brownie. We top it with a layer of pumpkin spice cake, and then finish it with a sprinkle of raw sugar for sparkle and sweet crunch. A true original!

Last-minute Halloween party hacks

Table toppers

By the time you’ve gotten the costumes and the candy ready, the last thing on your mind is the table for the trick-or-treat afterparty. No worries, we’ve got you covered. Our Halloween cookie jars not only come with delicious cookies inside, but they also make great party table centerpieces. Just set one down in the middle of the table, put out the cookies and some cups or mugs, and you’ve got everything you need.

Gobble stoppers

Don’t want the kids to dive into the candy the minute they get home? Give them something better to do. Our Halloween cut-out cookie decorating kit is a fun party activity with sweet rewards.

Pull all the punches

Orange + purple = BLACK. For a quick and creepy punch everyone will love, add one package of orange powdered drink mix and one package of grape powdered drink mix to one liter of ginger ale and stir. Then add three quarts of cold water and two cups of white sugar, and add ice.
