Warm drinks and changes in nature signal that fall is here, enjoy both with Fall Mug and Acorn cookies and enjoy the beauty of fall!
Fall is the most beautiful season where I live in Tennessee, all the leaves turn to shades of orange, gold, red, and brown and the air smells crisp and damp. I love to walk around and look at all the beautiful changes in nature with a mug of warm cider or hot chocolate to keep me warm. That was the inspiration for this cookie set, acorns covering the sidewalks and a mug of hot chocolate in my hands.
I love this set of cookie cutters, you could make them into so many fun designs, use the colors of your local sports teams or schools to make great gifts, or even your business logo colors. These cute little acorns are just adorable and there are so many ways you could decorate them, with plenty of room to put names or a message on them.
