Looking for cute Fall treats to make this season? Grab some Nutter Butters and make these easy acorn cookies with just a few ingredients!

I love making easy sweet treats when the holidays roll around. And when those treats don’t require any baking, it’s even better!

You can use a wide variety of store-bought cookies to whip up some cute fall desserts and cookies, whether it’s Milano cookies, Oreos, or my personal favorite, Nutter Butters! The popular peanut shaped cookies are made with a nut shell pattern baked right in, so they’re perfect for decorating like acorns.

Here’s how to make these super cute no-bake acorn cookies for Fall:

Ingredients for Nutter Butter Acorn Cookies

Here are the few ingredients that you need to make Nutter Butter cookie acorns:

• Nutter Butter cookies
• semi-sweet chocolate chips – When I need a brown colored melting chocolate for decorating simple treats, I prefer to use actual chocolate chips as opposed to the melting wafers.
• coconut oil
• pretzel pieces for stems
• chocolate sprinkles

How to Make Acorn Cookies with Nutter Butters

Here’s how to make these cute Fall cookies with your kids:

Step 1: Cut the Nutter Butters in half.

First, cut the Nutter Butter cookies in half to form two small “acorns” out of each cookie. I used 15 Nutter Butters for this recipe, so I ended up with 30 acorn cookies. Place the halved cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set them to the side.

Step 2: Melt the chocolate chips.

Next, you need to melt the chocolate chips for your cookie decorations. Add the coconut oil to the morsels in a microwave-safe bowl. Then, microwave the chocolate in 30 second intervals, pausing in between each 30 seconds to stir. Continue to microwave for 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate is fully melted. Be sure not to burn it!

Step 3: Decorate the acorn cookies.

Decorating these cute acorn cookies is super easy, so you can have your kids help you and turn it into a fun Fall family activity!

To decorate the cookies, first dip the cut end of the Nutter Butter into the melted chocolate. Immediately place a piece of pretzel stick into the chocolate to make the acorn stem like this:

Before the chocolate has a chance to set, dip the end of the cookies into the chocolate sprinkles like this:

Then, lay the dipped cookies on the parchment-lined baking sheet for the chocolate to fully set. Once the chocolate has dried, your super cute Fall cookies are ready to serve!

You can sneak one or two of these cute Fall treats into your child’s lunchbox or put some in a clear cellophane bag and add them to a You’ve Been Booed basket for your neighbors! Or even combine them in a cute gift tin with these other Fall cookies for a teacher gift!
