Description

Savor the essence of fall with these soft, chewy pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies, perfectly spiced with cinnamon and adorned in a sweet sugar coating.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add the egg and pumpkin puree; mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
