Ingredients Needed For Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies:
- ½ cup salted butter, slightly softened
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
For Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
How to Make Cookies:
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Add some parchment paper to your baking sheet. Y’all already know if you’ve been here long enough, that I always use my Caraway Home Baking Sheets when making cookies. They are literally the best!
Then in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the slightly softened butter and sugar for about 3 minutes. Add in the egg and the pumpkin and mix together until nice and smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients on low speed.
Combine until a dough forms. In a separate small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar topping.
Roll the cookie dough into 1 inch balls and place into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place cookie dough balls on parchment lined cookie sheet.
Lightly press down on the top of the dough balls to create a more round cookie like shape. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are a nice golden brown color. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes before enjoying!
Enjoy These Tasty Cookies!
Well, I hope you enjoyed this recipe just as much as I did. They are very similar to my apple cider snickerdoodles I made a few weeks ago.
But of course, instead of using apple cider, we’re using pumpkin puree for this one! And I think anything pumpkin just screams fall, don’t you?!
