Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
Soft, chewy, and bursting with warm autumn flavors, these Pumpkin Snickerdoodles are a delightful twist on a classic treat. The dough comes together in just 20 minutes, and after a quick 45-minute chill, they bake to golden perfection in 12 minutes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled for at least 10 minutes
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all purpose (plain) flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Combine butter, sugar, and brown sugar and stir until well-combined. Add pumpkin and stir well.

- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet until ingredients are well-combined.
- Cover cookie dough with clear wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 45 minutes.

- Prepare your cinnamon sugar mixture by whisking together ¼ cup sugar and 2 tsp ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
