Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are everything fall wrapped in one deliciously sweet, buttery, cinnamon-dusted cookie you’ll want to make (and eat) over and over again.
Servings:25 servings
Ingredients
cinnamon-sugar mix
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
cookie dough
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup canned pumpkin , (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 ¾ cup flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- In a small bowl stir together 1/4 cup sugar and 3 teaspoons cinnamon and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease or line a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars.
- Add vanilla and pumpkin and mix well.
- Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves and mix until combined and there are no more streaks of flour.
- Use two scoops (with a cookie scoop or a tablespoon) to make one dough ball. Roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then place on prepared baking sheet at least 3 inches apart.
- Use your fingers to gently shape the dough ball so that it is taller than it is wide. *This is important to keep the cookies nice and thick and prevent too much spreading.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. (I like mine under-cooked a bit for a super soft and chewy texture! They will continue to cook on the baking sheet while they are cooling). Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container up to 5 days.
Notes
These freeze well - simply wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in airtight container in the freezer up to 1 month. Let them thaw for a few hours on the countertop before serving.
