An Easy Fall Dessert: Pumpkin Spiced Snickerdoodle Cookies

This weekend it has finally started to feel like Fall and I am ALL about it. Pumpkin and apple flavors, mums on the front porch, sweaters on walks–yes, please! I love the coziness that this season brings; hot comfort food on the stove, warm cookies in the oven, and fall scented candles at night are a few of my favorite things. And this recipe right here is a Fall staple for us. Pumpkin Snickerdoodle cookies–they are easy to make, delicious and have just a hint of pumpkin. I highly encourage you to bake some soon and maybe even a couple extra for the neighbors! Y’all are going to love them.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  2. Add in the vanilla and pumpkin puree. Stir to combine.
  3. Then add in the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, cornstarch, baking soda and flour. Stir until dough forms.
  4. Cover the dough and refridgerate for at least 2 hours before baking (must do this because of the melted butter!).
