It’s too early for Pumpkin… there I said it.
The smell of fall is in the air! I adore fall, cozy sweaters and blankets, candles, leaves crunching underneath my shoes, and above all comfort food. I’m here for it…with one exception, no pumpkin ANYTHING until October 1st. I know some of you are cursing me right now. Hear me out. I love celebrating but I can wear myself out if I start too soon. (Not to mention you might miss out on all the other amazing fall flavors if you just dive right into a pumpkin!) By holding out I can go overboard, EVERYTHING PUMPKIN all October- November, and you better believe on December first I will be all about peppermint! So yes, fall is here, but I will be enjoying all the cozy non-pumpkin recipes for now and Sour Cream Coffee Cake Cookies are perfect for this non pumpkin occasion.

I love coffee cake but at the end of the day, I’m a cookie gal through and through. Sour Cream Coffee Cake Cookies are chewy, with hints of cinnamon here and there, and will leave your house smelling like fall.

*Be warned they are messy and are best eaten over the table with a piping hot cup of coffee. Let’s get to it!
