Harvest Sugar Cookies image

Rich buttery cookies like these never last long at a party or potluck. I got this recipe from a friend in Texas years ago and have used it many times since. I use pumpkin- and leaf-shaped cookie cutters to celebrate the season "tastefully." -Lynn Burgess, Rolla, Missouri

I had some trouble getting the dough to roll out, but I think that was because I didn't chill it for long enough.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be perfect for someone who likes sweeter treats.

I'm not a big fan of maple, but I still liked these cookies. The pumpkin flavor is really strong, and the cookies are really moist.
