Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Welcome fall with these pumpkin snickerdoodles!

Sweet and spicy pumpkin snickerdoodles. The perfect fall cookie!I’ve been trying to get creative around here and do some different pumpkin recipes, particularly baked things, like those pumpkin ginger molasses cookies that turned out so good!

And since you know how much I love cookies, I decided to pumpkin up another one of my favorite recipes, snickerdoodle cookies!

I have a great snickerdoodle recipe, so I thought ‘really the only thing that would make it better would be…pumpkin!’ And I was right. The combination of the cinnamon sugar and the pumpkin make for a very soft and delicious, fall-flavored cookie!

Sweet and spicy pumpkin snickerdoodles. The perfect fall cookie!Sometimes when you add pumpkin to recipes, you have adjust the moisture or flour content because pumpkin makes everything so moist and soft, so it took me a couple of batches (oh darn!) to get it just right, but these cookies are everything I had hoped for and then some.  The pumpkin is subtle and the cookie remains more a snickerdoodle than a pumpkin cookie, which I love!

Sweet and spicy pumpkin snickerdoodles. The perfect fall cookie!The other thing to keep in mind with these pumpkin snickerdoodles is that these are not a thin and chewy cookie; they are supposed to be a full cookie, think Loft House style cookies. For some reason, when I think about pumpkin, I want something substantial to bite into!

Sweet and spicy pumpkin snickerdoodles. The perfect fall cookie!As per my norm (cookies you can make in less than an hour), these pumpkin snickerdoodles are quick and easy and makes about 18 three tablespoon size cookies or 26 one tablespoon size cookies, and yes, you can easily double the recipe if you need more cookies! If you’re feeling really festive, and I would totally recommend it, try these cookies with fresh pumpkin puree! It is MUCH easier than it sounds and trust me, it takes pumpkin recipes to the next level!

    I have had the worst luck with pumpkin snickerdoodle recipes because of the moisture issue! But I love the idea of them, so I definitely need to try this one. They look absolutely delicious from the photos. Pinned!

      Thank you so much, Tracy! Oh man, I completely understand. I think most recipes use too much and it’s hard to compensate for the excessive moisture. If you try this, let me know how they turn out. I’m always curious!
