Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the sugars and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
    step 2 Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
    step 3 Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
    step 5 Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
  • Portion and roll the dough into small balls.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
    step 7 Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
  • Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
    step 8 Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
    step 9 Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies

Notes

  • For the best flavor and texture, make sure to remove the excess moisture from the pumpkin puree. This helps keep the cookies from turning cakey or spreading too much.
  • These pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies are also great with dried cranberries, pecans, white chocolate chips, or butterscotch chips!
  • Overbaking leads to dry pumpkin snickerdoodles! You don't need to wait for them to get crispy. Pull them out once the edges are set so they can firm up and finish cooking on the baking sheet.
